The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.
- Thomas Merton I always told my kids to NEVER settle in life; to go after what they WANTED! It works for my oldest son!

Sometimes these things will hit us right between the eyes, won't they?

It does me, too, DSF!! And it seems the world keeps getting more mediocre by the day!

Maybe he had less than a little in material things, DJ. I don't think any of us here could ever achieve what he had in the spiritual realm.

Unfortunately 'many' do settle for less. We all can't be politicians, athletes, etc....

Success or accomplishing your dreams doesn't always mean we have to become celebrities or known the world over.
Success comes in exactly the right package for each of us. But we have to work at getting what we would like to have happen in our personal lives. My son by no means is a celebrity! He has the opportunity to rub elbows with them because he is accomplishing his dream of being his own boss and excelling at what he does. There are many, many components that go into that dream. Maybe at some later date, I'll go into the finer details.

Off the top of my head, to "bargain" is to settle. Let me give it some more thought...
