Choosing Right over Good.

Have you ever had that thought when you walk away from something and it felt like what you did was a good thing but was it the right thing.  Why don't I feel this joyful electricity running through my body?  I know for myself I have been in that position so many times in my life.  Leaving a situation or circumstance and feeling like it was a good but something seems off or something just doesn't feel right.  Was I supposed to give that person more of my attention, because maybe they are going through something and needed some guidance or someone to listen to them?  Was it just enough to say I will pray for you and give them a hug?  Prayer is good but maybe sitting down and talking with them was the right thing to do.  When we start to recognize these feelings we need to dig a little deeper and find out if we are doing good things or doing the right thing.  Sometimes doing a good action isn't or was not the right thing to do in that situation.  Specifically for me that is when I get that feeling in my spirit that still something is just off.  But I also can admit that in the past I ignored any feelings I have had and just figured good is good enough. 

I have recognized that I have to start choosing to do the right thing over the good thing, and sometimes that is not easy.  I am an extrovert (most of the time) and I love being around friends and family.  There is nothing better at times than to go and share an amazing conversation over some amazing food.  I have also made some tough decisions recently that while its a good thing to spend time with friends and family it was the right thing to choose my purpose and work on my purpose for the night.  Looking back now those right decisions saved me from future frustrations, and neither choice was bad but I made the right choice for me.  While my example isn't an everyday occurrence as I still make time for my friends and family, I have just gotten into the practice that I will make the right choice instead of the good choice.  Sometimes good isn't good enough and the right decision needed to be made.  The choice is yours will you do the right thing or just the good thing?
