Choose good over pleasant….
Work out everyday for 3 months and you start to see the changes in your body…. Work on a project relentlessly for a few months, and you will see the results…. Meditate every morning for 30 minutes at the same time, and you will start to see yourself calming down and becoming more aware!
Then give them up for a little while, you start to regress in each area that you give up on!
Take it back up again, you will again see results….
In each case, each next time you get back into that good routine, you start to see results faster!
And if you develop the sustained discipline and determination to never give up and keep going at it for a long time, you will see yourself elevating in that area.
The same constructs exist everywhere… the same concepts apply to everything….
Such is the law of the Universe we are a part of!
We know what we must do to do well! Yet we don’t… at least, not at the level or for the duration that lets us excel. And we choose to complain or stay unhappy….
Why not make that ultimate resolution today to never give ourselves that opportunity to complain? Why not choose to be happy? Why not choose the good over the pleasant???
