“"My #1 guiding principle for a successful life (learned from J Brad Britton): "Do the right thing; not the easy thing." Everyday, you are constantly faced with choices to do either the right thing (any activity that moves you closer to where and who you want to be) or the easy thing (anything else). In every moment of choice, choose to do the right thing over the easy thing, and your becoming successful is inevitable.” WantMomentsMovingChoicesEasyPrinciplesSuccessfulBecomingGratitudeActivityEverydayInevitableRight ThingBradSuccessful LifeEasy ThingsBecoming SuccessfulGuiding Principles Author:Hal Elrod
