If you follow the news at all, then it would be difficult to miss out on the scandal involving the now former governor of New York. It’s a sad, sad deal and there’s really no winner in this whole drama.
But it raises a question that we should all ask ourselves when we’re in potentially compromising situations.
Is it worth it?
I’ll bet you anything that if you were to ask Eliot Spitzer if his outings with various prostitutes were worth it, he wouldn’t have to think twice about it. The answer would be NO.
But of course we usually don’t think about how this will affect me after the fact. While it’s such a sad deal for Spitzer and his family, his poor decisions are no different than most of our stupid choices. We do something that feels good in the moment, not taking the time to think through the consequences that will come tomorrow.
So next time you’re faced with the decision that may seem fun today but may cost you more than you realize, just ask yourself:
Is It Worth It?
