I’ve been collecting the National Parks quarter series and still need five of the 56 issues. When I saw an ad offering the entire set for just slightly above face value I was very tempted to order it and be done. But then I realized that the purpose of my quest is not to have all the quarters, rather it is to find all the quarters. The joy is in the hunt.
It can be tempting to opt for the easy solution but rewards can also come from the effort itself. Hunting for the elusive piece for a collection. Making a meal instead of eating out. Enjoying a road trip rather than flying. Planting a garden to grow food instead of buying it. Writing a letter instead of sending a text.
Factor more into your decisions than just what is easiest.
