think around the bend in the road.
It may be that we have been trying to settle for less than the best—
and we have been doing it for a long time."

It struck me that Joyce Hifler said
"trying to settle…" instead of "willing to settle…."
I think that almost always we
should be willing to settle for "less than the best," not because
compromise is inherently good, but because realistic acceptance of something
good is almost always better than unrealistic insistence on perfection when
that outcome isn't really attainable.
I believe we should always try to
get the best there is, or the best we can do….and only in that frame of mind
should we be satisfied with a loaf that has one end missing….
