Some of the hardest things I've ever done have been "the right thing" to do - things that took bravery to stand up for what was right.<BR/><BR/>It is an interesting discussion, though, and one I've had fun talking about with my family. <BR/><BR/>I agree that sometimes having the wisdom to see the consequences may then require bravery to act. And not being wise leads to foolishness.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading what you have to say on your blog in relation to Christ and life as opposed to publishing!Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-85608092934156497512009-04-07T17:23:00.000-04:002009-04-07T17:23:00.000-04:00Patti - I love that quote!

I think they may often go together. Having the wisdom to understand what you have to do, regardless of the consequences, the risks or the fear, can cause you to act brave. In the absence of that wisdom, can actions be considered brave at all?<BR/><BR/>I really like this topic and may well "borrow" it for a post of my own in the near future.<BR/><BR/>I admit to being fully (and it sounds like blissfully) ignorant of the publishing world. But, I am a firm believer in the idea that the conventional process is not always the right one - and I give my clients that advice with regularity. Calculated risk taken with an understanding of the goal and the likelihood of attaining it, can be a very good thing. Good luck!Tony Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725428614970482019noreply@blogger.com
