The ideal is attainable
Ideals are sometimes thought to be abstract and unattainable, but Christian Science shows that the ideal is demonstrable and, in fact, is the real. The ideal, in its ultimate sense, stands for perfection. Christian Science identifies perfection with God and His idea, spiritual man.
Ideals should elevate the aspirations and achievements of those who are willing to be drawn higher. People think of the ideal home, the perfect friend, the ultimate job, and their ideals are worthy and realizable in the degree these represent the good of God, ever-present Love.
