When James Garfield (later President of the U.S.) was principal of Hiram College in Ohio, a father asked him if the course of study could be simplified so that his son might be able to go through by a shorter route.

"Certainly," Garfield replied. "But it all depends on what you want to make of your boy. When God wants to make an oak tree, He takes a hundred years. When He wants to make a squash he requires only two months."

We are producing too many squashes and not enough oak trees in our day.
To obtain some of the contents in your private wishing well, pay attention to the Apostle Paul’s words.  "As a man thinketh so is he." 

We are each governed by the mental headlines that guide us toward our dreams. 

However, we must be sure we do not nurture our self-esteem at the cost of the self-esteem of others.  Be as willing to share and teach as we are to take and learn.

And, yes, stretch, but don’t tear, our emotional and spiritual ligaments. 

Make our goals realistic.

 Pray for perfection while realizing that we will never be good enough to be our own Savior.

Don’t be a tide. 

Too many people let their goals ebb and flow.  They go from high tide to mud flats. 

With no persistent consistency, they may sparkle in the sun but then stink in the dark.

Don’t believe in the count of ten. 

Everyone gets knocked down, but everyone doesn't lie there and allow themselves to be counted out. 

With your face in the mud, it does take courage to roll over and stare at the stars, but remember that courage is not the

absence of fear but the mastery of it. 

           Indeed, let Semper (not Simper) Fideles be your motto.
