One of my two main rules for life is that the harder choice is usually the right choice.  You don’t get where you want to be in life by taking the easy path.

Every day we are faced with choices to make.  Many of them are trivial, and really don’t matter very much.  But some of them are important.  Some of them seem trivial at the time, but later you realize that they were actually important.  When it comes to making the right choice, it’s almost always the harder one.

This is the way things should be.  Why should someone making easy choices get rewarded for them?  This is true for all aspects of life.  You don’t get a great body by choosing to eat junk food and playing video games instead of exercising.  You don’t get true life-long friends by neglecting them when they need your help.

Your whole life is made up of choices.  Some are just about you, and some are about your relationships with others.  But no matter what they’re about, the harder choice is almost always the right choice for your life.
