They are pulled towards the easy wins.
Engage in activities that give the most short term rewards.
Reach for things that give immediate satisfaction.
Much like these Irises in our front yard reaching for the Sun and flowering beautifully this spring:
But their long, thin stalks can't support their early bloom and eventually they fall to the ground and it makes me sad to see them lying there in the grass.
Irises, spend some more time building up your roots and stems - the foundations need to be there to enjoy a long and rewarding life!
(Irene says my analogy is fundamentally flawed (a lot of rain this season exacerbated the problem - not simply an over-reaching for the Sun), but I'm posting anyway)
