What is right over what is easy

By 

Coach Frank Sagasta 

Seldom are worthwhile accomplishments achieved in life, without a conscious effort being put forth. Seldom are worthwhile accomplishments achieved in life, without energy being put forth. Seldom are worthwhile accomplishments achieved in life without the sacrifice of time. Seldom are worthwhile accomplishment achieved in life, without a heart desire. 

There is always a price to pay from the moment we are born to the moment we retire. There is a price to pay — when we exercise in either capacity; spiritually, physically, emotionally, or mentally. These realms keep us grounded. There is a price to pay — when we graduate from middle school to high school and from college into life. There was a price to pay to have a good marriage. There is a price to pay, when parents chooses to raise good children. 

There are prices to pay in any aspect of accomplishment of any worthy success. It is the job of the teacher, instructor, professor, or mentor to help the learner understand that nothing great will ever come without paying a price. It is choosing what is right over, what is easy. I believe the great writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed it so eloquently: “Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and make a trail.” I know that this may run contrary to the nature of today’s societal trends. However, when people begin to see the results of choosing what is right, over what is easy. There truly can be a change in the world. 

ALWAY REMEMBER… The right choice can vary depending on the situation and the individual's values and priorities. What may be right for one person may not necessarily be right for another. Additionally, what is considered easy can also vary from person to person. Something that is easy for one individual may be challenging for someone else. It all depends on one's skills, mindset, attitude, and familiarity with the task at hand.
