How would our lives look if we erred on the side of taking the most difficult action in any given moment?
How would our lives look in the long term?
If we made the more difficult decision to eat this vs. that. Or to pay cash vs. credit (or not buy at all). Or to read vs. watch. Or to have the hard conversation vs. keeping quiet. Or to love and forgive vs. hold a grudge and assert our own right to be eternally bitter.
What if we made the best yet most difficult decision now?
How would things shake out down the road?
