Hard is Usually Right

 

"...now I have come to crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard..." 

-Frank Slade, "Scent of a Woman"

    Life is a series of choices. Some are easy. Some are a little more difficult. Some are downright hard. Choices require decisions. Harder choices require tougher decisions. 

    When faced with a hard choice you usually have an easy decision or a hard decision. When you don't know what to do try to remember that the harder decision is usually the right decision.

    Quick and easy solutions, or shortcuts, usually do not solve problems but postpone them, making the next one so much harder to resolve.

    When in doubt remember hard is usually right. That's why we don't want to do it. We like easy solutions. When you find yourself faced with one of those hard choices and you know what the right thing to do is but you don't want to do it because it's hard remember to “Suck it up, Buttercup”
