Is there a time in your past when you chose a lesser, more certain goal instead of a greater but less easily achieved one? Which did you choose? Why? How do you feel about that choice today?
We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal. - Robert Brault

Wonderful prompt, Jane Ann. I've been struggling for topics, and this is a good one for me. Will have a go at it soon. (Why am I just now discovering these prompts?! I'd missed them somehow, but happy to be here today.)

Wow! This hit home with me. I've been struggling through the last bit of my WIP. I'm getting there slowly. This is a reminder that the best route is usually not the easiest one. Thank you.

Educated people are the fighters. They do not accept the wrong and they feel obliged to correct what has been done wrong. No matter if the person who is at default is himself or someone else.
