Always Pick the Harder Path for Personal Growth

Always Pick the Harder Path

When faced with two choices, always pick the harder one. This is my go-to mental model now.

• The difficult conversation.
• The workout you wanna skip.
• Shipping the scary new feature 🚧

The easy path is BS, the hard path is where all the growth is 🪴

(Btw this is for personal growth. At work, the simple way is often the smart way. Dont be a hero for no reason)
