Easier in the sense that you know now what it is you need to do and what is important to you. The other "choices" wash away, as they aren't really choices at all. They're distractions. It's about the doing, not the recognition. Easier in the sense that you don't need to compromise. Harder because each opportunity-no matter how gratifying or rewarding-must be evaluated along strict guidelines: Does this help me do what I have set out to do? Does this allow me to do what I need to do? Am I being selfish or selfless?
The author Ryan Holiday explores the concept of making clearer choices in life, emphasizing that understanding your true priorities simplifies decision-making. Once you identify what truly matters, many distractions that appear as choices can dissipate, revealing that the real focus should be on action rather than seeking validation from others. This clarity comes with a certain ease, allowing you to pursue what aligns with your goals without compromise.
However, this process is not without its challenges. Each opportunity that arises must be carefully assessed to ensure it aligns with your intentions and objectives. Questions about whether an option supports your mission or reflects selfishness versus selflessness must be considered. This rigorous evaluation adds a layer of difficulty but ultimately contributes to a more purposeful pursuit of success.
