“I know what I should do, but it's going to cost me.”

VIR · Pillar I — Virtue VIR-I · Tell the Truth. Even When It Costs You.

The fact that you already know the right thing means the decision is already made — you're just stalling on the execution. The question is never really what to do. It's whether you're willing to pay for it.

Your Practice

Write down what you're afraid of losing. Then write down what you're losing every day you stall. You already know what to do — you said so yourself. Stop waiting for a better moment. Do the right thing today.
