100:6.4 The self has surrendered to the intriguing drive of an all-encompassing motivation which imposes heightened self-discipline, lessens emotional conflict, and makes mortal life truly worth living. The morbid recognition of human limitations is changed to the natural consciousness of mortal shortcomings, associated with moral determination and spiritual aspiration to attain the highest universe and superuniverse goals. And this intense striving for the attainment of supermortal ideals is always characterized by increasing patience, forbearance, fortitude, and tolerance.

Experience Is The Goal
They say the snow is on the way.
But a quiet spell will rule today.
The calm before the coming storm.
Tomorrow, Winter’ll be the norm.

To know what’s coming— a recent change.
The way the world lives— progress came.
The weather always is the news—
To plan ahead if you so choose.

You smell it in the morning air.
It lifts your spirit, and takes you where
You know that Spring is on its way.
You know it though the skies are gray.

The morning gases fill our lungs.
We see more of the world we’re from.
Bustling here, and bustling there.
Does where we’re going take us there?

Early planning is the best
Way to go. It is wisest!
But as awareness grows and spreads,
Plans change often as were led.

That’s experience nothing else.
Experience, is a brand of wealth.
God wants it all, and you’re a part.
The love within you leaves its mark!

Thank You, Father, for all things.
A way of life is what love brings.
To try to follow in Your shoes,
Depends each day on how we choose!
