Power and Goodness
There are times when being a good person is easy - when doing the right thing actually gets us more of something that feels good - whether that’s attention, love, power, money, or fame.
That’s easy though, nobody needs help in those moments. When it’s easy, it’s easy.
There are times though that the good thing to do is at odds with the thing that will get us more power. That’s when goodness really matters - when being good is hard. That’s when the choice matters most and the stakes are most consequential. Can we choose goodness over power, then?
That’s what Chapter 1 of Character by Choice is all about, and what I talk about this week’s episode of Muscle Memory.
