Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular. –Roy T. Bennett
Doing easy of what’s popular is as easy and no-brainier thing, however doing what is right takes courage, but it is important. In our daily routine life we come across instances wherein we choose between easy and comfortable giving short term relief vs doing what feels right and aligns with your values. Choosing first option more often than not leads to some form of regrets.
Choosing to do what’s right often takes courage. For example, standing up for someone being treated unfairly, even when others stay silent, shows real strength. It might not win you friends immediately, but it builds respect—both from others and within yourself. When you follow your values, you create a strong foundation for your life, even when the path is difficult.
Sometimes, doing what’s popular means going along with the crowd, even if it feels wrong. Taking the easy path may feel simple now, but it can erode your confidence over time. And when you choose the tough path, you know what, you start to build your real strength.
In the end, doing what’s right may not always feel rewarding right away, but it’s the key to living a meaningful and authentic life.
