The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.

Consider the consequences

Your choices have consequences. Learn them, anticipate them, respect them, and fully take them into account.

Destructive, poorly thought out actions bring unwanted results. Productive actions bring beneficial results.

Consequences surely and automatically flow from whatever you choose to do. The way to bring the best consequences is to make the best choices.

Before you commit to a particular behavior, consider the consequences. Before you lock in the consequences, make sure they’re consequences you can live with.

When you attempt to cheat life you end up cheating yourself. Any time you fail to take the consequences into account, they’re not going to be to your liking.

With every action, and with every failure to act, you bring about specific results. Thoughtfully arrange your actions so they give rise to those consequences that make life great.

— Ralph Marston
