Life is about decisions and choices. Some are easy some are hard, some are just second-nature. To be a real man you have be have the guts to make the right one. There is a difference between decisions and choices. Decisions ironically are what you decide about issues before the choice is presented to you. A choice is the real-life, rubber meets the road, moment-of-truth. A choice is simply the application of a decision. The most important thing in life is to make decisions about tough issues before the choices ever come.

Many guys wait until the choices about hard issues come to think things out. By then, it’s way too late to properly weight out the benefits and consequences of that choice. Take for instance, you are out with a girl, you are very attracted to her, and the physical progression is bound to start at any moment. She touches your hand and you feel like a million bucks. The atmosphere is right, she looks beautiful, she is willing to go beyond some boundaries because she’s crazy about you. BAM, here’s the choice we’re talking about. You haven’t thought about any of this before the date started. Your morals are telling you not to continue on, but your body is saying GREEN LIGHT!!!! The choice is, you can have some fun (well, what you think is fun, but you’re going to feel like a dirty rotten dog about thirty minutes later), or you can choose to not walk that road and either take the girl at home, or if she’s really someone you are interested in long-term, find a more accountable place to communicate. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. Chances are, if you didn’t make a decision before-hand, you’re not going to take her over to dairy queen and get a caramel sunday. No, you’re impulse choice will be to follow your strongest urge….and you’re going to feel like a dirty rotten dog later. Why? You didn’t think. You didn’t decide beforehand what your response would be. Guys who don’t decide before tough situations will be driven by hormonal urges and attractions to make bad choices. You have to make good decisions and think things out before the hard choice comes. You have to know what you’re going to do at that moment of truth.
