I keep telling myself, "you just got to do the next right thing" and I think that's a good way to go through life because the right thing isn't always easy, but it is simple. I know I won't always do the right thing, I know that I've made mistakes, but it's how you react to those mistakes that make you who you are. So if you mess up doing the right thing, then you do the next right thing after that. If you failed in doing the right thing by your partner and you cheat on them, the next right thing is to tell them - if they break up with you, that's their prerogative, but you need to tell them.
I heard a quote and it's actually what I wanted to talk about today and it goes like "If you try to make life easy, then it gets harder." This quote is basically saying that making life easy right now will make it harder later down the road. Let's say, for instance, you go to the gym. The gym makes moving easier down the line, even if it might be hard now. You'll also start to feel better and have more energy. You can take the easy path, but think about the ramifications that will have down the line. My aunt has a quote in her bathroom, "Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, live today." We have to live today and make sure that we do the right thing TODAY, not tomorrow, not the next day, but start today. This also goes with immediacy - we have to start acting now and it might be hard, but it's simple - don't overcomplicate it and don't overthink it because that's where you start to lose.
