Tips for Life: The Fox and the Grapes

Tips for Life:  The Fox and the Grapes By:  Tyler Kimball —- I recall the classic tale of the fox and the grapes… - A fox sees some juicy ripe grapes dangling from a vine and leaps to get them. After several unsuccessful attempts, the fox walks away, proclaiming the grapes were probably sour anyway. He chose to deceive himself into settling for something less without reaching his goal. How many times do we declare “sour grapes” because we don’t obtain a goal? — If we are honest with ourselves, we know that it will almost always take multiple approaches to reach these desires. Rather than give up, though, we could learn to make a ladder, or ask a friend for help. After all, our true desires are the ones we obtain.  Those grapes are all the sweeter, and the next time you want more, you will have more tools and experience to obtain them more easily.
