Navigating through life’s dimensions—forward and backward, left and right, up and down—can be challenging when deciding which direction to take. However, establishing a set of ethical principles, then forming habits based on them, provides a clear guide. The Hard-Right involves solving problems and handling situations in the correct way, even when it presents greater difficulty. The easier path often appears less challenging because it may not require considering all aspects, such as people’s responses or potential sacrifices. While shortcuts may exist, the benefit arises from taking the road less-traveled. Progressing from a-b-c-d instead of a-d offers the advantage of experience and a sound moral compass. This habit manifests in various forms—studying, exercising, working—but the core idea is that avoiding shortcuts consistently provides long-term advantages.

If you want to be a valuable asset, no matter the industry, you must have the self-control to always respond justly. To make this more actionable, imagine yourself as an entrepreneur discovering an extra zero in an angel investor’s check for one of your projects. You face two choices: accept the amount and your ability to expand manifolds, or return the funds, letting the investor know of their mistake. If you choose wisely, then success or failure, you will have established a business partner who’s trust you’ve now gained. In the grand scheme, relationships are far more valuable than mere monetary gains. Practicing The Hard-Right instills these principles, and is crucial to fulfillment in life.
