The right choice rarely shows up looking easy or frictionless or even obvious.

More often, it feels like resistance. Delay. A hundred reasons not to. An inconvenience to the well established ways in which we live our lives.

Because good decisions usually cost something.

Not in punishment—but in the quiet tax of growth:

Time. Energy. Certainty. Comfort.

It’s inconvenient to pause instead of react.

To go to bed instead of scroll.

To not act and sit with the feeling.

To say no and risk being disliked.

To do the think we’ve never done and feel clumsy.

To not know if it’ll be worth it and live with the uncertainty.

But convenience will keep you stuck in the same pattern. In the same dissatisfaction. In the same avoidance cycle.

And sometimes choosing what’s good for you won’t feel like alignment or clarity or empowerment or ease.

It’ll feel like inconvenience and discomfort.

Make the decision anyway.
