Failure in a man’s life is very seldom the result of just one poor choice, it’s usually the result of a series of poor choices. That’s why learning to choose what’s right even when something else looks better is so critical.
Good judgement, making wise choices, decision making, however you want to describe it, is a skill that touches every part of a man’s life. It’s how you don’t put money in a bad investment, marry the wrong woman or take a job you hate just because the money is good. All of these and more can be avoided if a guy learns how to choose what’s right even when something else looks better. Most of the time that’s what it boils down to, one thing that looks good but is not the right thing. Learning to tell the difference is not something that you just naturally know how to do but is something that anybody can learn.
Not only is choosing a skill that must be developed, it’s also one of the easiest ways to tell the difference between men and boys. Choosing the right thing even when something else looks better takes time and patience and that’s something boys can’t do. Men however, can take the time to really look at his choices before deciding.
Choosing what’s right even when something else looks better is not easy to develop. It takes time and discipline, especially for anyone who’s used to the instant gratification of the drive-through. But doing the hard work of developing good judgement is worth it because you’re life is the sum total of the choices you’ve already made.
