The right choice won’t always be the easy one. It’s ok to struggle with life’s tough ethical decisions.
Doing the Right Thing Isn’t Always the Easy Thing
We will not always know the answers to life’s ethical questions. Doing the right thing isn’t always the easy thing, and it’s okay to struggle with the tough choices.
As hard as we try to get it right, we’ll all eventually make a wrong choice. No one will be “Six Pillar Perfect,” so just vow to do better next time.
But as you allow yourself to rebound from bad choices, remember that we owe that same forgiveness to others. Next time we’re tempted to judge another person’s decisions, maybe we need pause to remember that just like ourselves, everyone else is simply trying to get it right too.
