Goal for the Day: Decide for the Common Good

King George VI
The Royal Collection

Much like King George VI, very often, we’re put in unexpected positions wherein we’ve got to carry out actions that frighten us or that we simply don’t want to do. “Bertie” was quite content with his life as it was, and the prospect of being King George VI was a rather daunting one. Still, he carried on, because he knew that what he was doing was for the benefit of his people.


Now, the rest of us don’t have to worry about ruling an empire per se. However, each of us is in control of our own little realm. Sometimes, we have to make decisions based on what’s practical and necessary as opposed to what feels good or comfortable. With these decisions often comes immediate disappointment. But, that disappointment is always short-lived when you consider the overall benefits of your decision.

When you consider what’s best for your empire, even the hardest decisions have clear answers.
