Principles vs. Habits
It is incredibly valuable to take the time to reflect on what is motivating your decisions. Ask yourself, “Am I subconsciously compromising my core principles because it’s the quick and easy solution?” or even “Am I avoiding necessary evolutions in life that wouldn’t compromise my principles because they would uproot habits I’ve become accustomed to?” The advisable path is often the one that excites you enough to do something “scary” while at the same time complementing your core values and goals.
