Right Decision

“What about Sam, and Sue and baby Katie?” Dr. Deb asked. 

“Sam is keeping the weight off,” I said.  “He broke off his engagement to Pam and turned down the chairmanship to his department."

“You’ve always been impressed with him.”

“I’ve never met anybody so able to make the right decision when he really wanted to make the wrong one.”

“Like what?”

“He really wanted to take a week off his food plan, but he didn’t.  The chairmanship paid a lot more than he makes, he wanted to take it, but knew he wasn’t right for the position. He turned it down."

Dr. Deb asked, “What happened with Pam?”

“On the one hand, he truly loved the drama that is Pam. He liked playing the long-suffering boyfriend. He knew marrying her was a mistake, and he broke off the engagement.”  

Today I’ll make the right decision even when I desperately want to make the wrong one.
