You chose the easier conversation. Then the easier project. Then the easier relationship. Then the easier job.

Each time, it made sense. Why make things harder than they need to be? Why have the difficult conversation when you can avoid it? Why take the challenging project when the easy one pays the same? Why stay in the uncomfortable relationship when you can leave?
