Thursday night, I couldn’t sleep.  I tossed and I turned and I thought about the day and all I had accomplished.  I thought about goals I had set, and I thought about why I was setting them.  I thought about what was holding me back from being more pro-active in some of these goals.  I thought about my fears, and my happiness, and a few things that I have allowed to offend me and cause me pain.  I thought about the encouraging, supportive people I have around me, and I thought about how grateful I am.  And then, my brain led me to one single question; “If an action helps hundreds, yet hurts one, is it worth it?”

I thought about this question for about 90 minutes, before I caved and put it on facebook.  Not to be passive aggressive, but because I seriously needed to hear some discussion on this thought.  The conversation has been going on my status since, and in person with a handful of friends the past two days.  Now I’m wondering, what do you think?
