What you know is best
Base your decisions on the outcomes you wish to create. Look to the future, to what will happen as a result of what you do, and let the eventual consequences guide you.
If it’s complicated, embarrassing, or inconvenient in the moment, so what? Do what will make the biggest positive difference in the long run.
However difficult this day may be, it will soon be over. For a long time afterward, you’ll live with the consequences of the actions you’ve taken and the ones you’ve avoided.
Doing what’s good, what’s right, what’s valuable, is not usually the easiest choice. Yet when viewed from a future perspective, it’s the best choice.
You can get through the discomfort and inconvenience. Once you do work through it, you’ll be thankful you did.
Position yourself now to be always thankful for the way you live this day. Do what you know is right, and what you know is best.
-Ralph S. Marston
