Thought for the Day 10/23/2026 Friday Tale ~ Shaped Like ? A man won a prize at the county fair for a full-grown pumpkin shaped like a small jar. How did he accomplish this? When the pumpkin stated to bloom he simply put the bloom into the glass jar and the pumpkin as it grew, filled up the jar. He then broke the jar, and the pumpkin had duplicated the size and shape of the jar. Many times we do the same to ourselves. We place ourselves in containers that limit our growth. The container will be just as large or small as we believe it to be. It is a matter of choice.  We can choose to continue to grow or we can choose to become ripe and rot. Many times the achievement of our potential is just a matter of a very slight edge, but we don’t realize it. For example, in baseball a player who has a 350 average earns at least 3-5 million dollars a year. But a 250 hitter may only earn $750,000 a year.

  Friday Tale ~ Stop It T here is a story about a psychiatrist and patient. The patient talked about all of his problems, how he was afraid of heights and worried about losing his job and on and on. The psychiatrist just took notes, nodded his head and listened for the entire session. After the patient finished saying all that he was battling against, the psychiatrist spoke.
