The Power of Doing the Right Thing
Chander Shankar
Making a difference via coaching, mentoring and creating excellence.
How many times have you taken shortcuts to get something done? Was it due to a lack of time, or simply because it was easier?
We often face situations where we know the right thing to do, but we choose the easier path instead. These choices, though seemingly small, can unconsciously affect our confidence and motivation. When we compromise our integrity, we create internal conflict with our core values.
Think back to the last time you did the right thing—doesn’t it feel good? Living a life aligned with our values requires courage. It demands that we accept our weaknesses and focus on what we can do. Sometimes, it only takes a few moments of indecision to miss out on doing the right thing.
Doing the right thing is essential because it makes us whole, builds our character, and sets a positive example for others, especially our children. What if, just for today, we committed to living our values? What if this commitment is what’s missing in our lives?
Here’s how you can start:
- Be thankful for your experiences, both good and bad.
- Understand your thoughts and emotions to stay true to your values.
- Commit to doing the right thing every day and observe how your life changes.
Three Actions to Consider:
1. Choose the right thing over the easy path.
2. Reflect daily on living your values.
3. Express gratitude for every experience.
