%WHAT TOTAL COSTS ATTEMPTING MORE THAN HUMAN LIMITS 080216

%SACRIFICE PAST PROMISES FULFILLING ADDITIONAL WORK 080216

It  is  dishonest  for anyone  to  pretend  that someone's
becoming  involved  in  some new mission can  properly  be
judged  by  the  good  fruits that may be  born  by  their
engaging in the new mission.

To be honest there must also be an evaluation of the costs
of them becoming involved in the new mission:

 1.  Money  spent  in carrying out the new  mission, might
otherwise have been spent in some other comparab and  good
fruitful mission.   One good  may be sacrificed to fulfill
another good.   What is the Net-Good of the exchange?

 2.  Personal time, energy, attention and creativity which
is  devoted  to the new mission ---  might otherwise  have
been  devoted  to some other comparably fruitful  mission.
Again, one good may be sacrificed to fulfill another good?
What  is  the  Net-Good  of  the  change,   the  shift  in
attention?

 3.  Attempting  to carry out a new mission in addition to
continuing to carry out existing missions ---  may lead to
declining health,  energy, focus, concentration,  prudence
and  wisdom;   and  to the inability to  be  effective  in
carrying  out  any  mission!    What then would be the net
good  of attempting  to fulfill the new mission on top  of
existing  missions?   Human limits must be honored to bear
net sweet fruits!
