The Long and the Short of It

Philosophically speaking, it is better to have weighed the options, making choices based on constraints, than having an abundance of resources and options available. It occurs to me that if there were unlimited and unrestricted resources, making choices would be more difficult. I have come to embrace constraints as a gift that allows me to make creative choices that serve to focus activity on those opportunities that will deliver the greatest rewards.

Knowing myself, I probably would not thrive under conditions of unlimited resources, anyway. My unbridled passions might run rampant without a leash (they certainly have in the past). If I must be tethered to a leash at least it is a long leash.
