The word, aspirations, means a hope or ambition of achieving something. Examples: I want to preach like Billy Graham, No, that’s out – definitely unattainable. I want a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger had when he was thirty. No, that’s out. My goal is to be rich and famous. Both of those endeavors are also impossible. I long to be president of the United States. You might ask, as I do, whatever for?
Is there anything that I can aspire to and be successful in?
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Life is a leaf of paper white
Whereon each one of us may write
His word or two, and then comes night.
Greatly begin! though thou have time
But for a line, be that sublime–
Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
James Russell Lowell
Have realistic goals. Give it some thought and head in that direction.
Gary
