Our capacity to enjoy the fruits of our labor really do increase when our labor increases along with it. Hey, great thought, Karen! Tip o' the hat to ya! @Karen – Perhaps you’re right there.

You are so right that we value and appreciate the fruits of our labor when we actually had a hand in the harvesting. In fact, I venture to say that without the hard work, challenge, effort and failures we would not have the capacity to appreciate the blessings that come without our effort. Thanks Robert for reminding me to keep trudging through the forest. After your post I do believe sunlight right up there. :-) .-= Karen Swim´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordsForHire/~3/5Tbm6Bhu4WI/" rel="nofollow">How Bulletproof is Your Reputation?</a> =-.

I spend most of my vacations trying to seek out gorgeous non-commercial coastline scenery. My last one was to the Rhode Island Narrangansett Bay area where we were equally rewarded for following the not-so-travelled path. There's a lot of great parallels in what you described with life and I believe you have to enjoy the journey as much as the reward.

It's really good and focusses on achieving your goals and generally being successful in life. A change of scenery is always good to reflect in my opinion.

I think it all depends on the situation. There are times in life when waiting is required to get results. Then on the other hand sometimes it takes determined action to get what you want.
