We would all probably prefer the easy way, whether or not we are willing to admit it.  But is it really worth it?

Follow the path that has already been traveled.  Do it the quickest way.  Ask for someone else’s suggestion.  Take the short-cut.

These tactics may get the item marked off our to-do list, but most likely won’t bring the best result.  Anything worth doing is worth doing right.  That’s the mantra I was raised with.  Go the extra mile.  Make it the very best it can be.  Don’t settle.

Taking the time to research, explore and discover the necessary information to make an educated decision will not only make you feel more confident, but will prevent the second-guessing that often comes after a quick choice.

Personal growth comes from doing the heart work and seeking the best solution.  When we puzzle things out for ourselves we’re less likely to forget.  We are more appreciative.

Don’t give in to the easy way.  Make it count so you can live . . .your life to the fullest.
