Life is full of decisions to make. Do the right thing which is considered as the selfless thing or do what's best, the selfish thing. Take shoes for instance, everyone is born wearing one half of a pair of shoe. You live to find the right halves of all the pairs of shoe you were born with. These other halves of all the pairs of shoe represent business, career, marriage, partnership, friendship, mindset, spirituality etc.
Just like shoes, it's advised to pick two right/matching halves of the same pair and stick to them. But imagine if I went to a shoe store and picked the two best halves of a pair of shoe (one heeled and the other flat soled) and decide to wear them like that. After a while, my body will start suffering the consequences of my decision even though people may "admire" my "courage" and decision to be different.
At that point, I have two options; watch my body get permanently deformed as a result of my earlier decision or abandon my current course and go get the right pair to my shoe. After arriving at the decision to go get the right pair of shoe (which is the best and right decision), you will realize that one half of pair is already worn and the other half may not be...and also the body will feel differently and slightly uncomfortable, this requires time to heal cos years of wearing the wrong half of the pair of shoe makes the right half of the pair of shoe feel out of place. Not so many have the courage to accept being wrong and evolve to being right. Many stick to their act of being wrong and become celebrated for it.
Even some few lucky ones do find the right half of the pair of shoe but they throw them away and seek out a non-identical half of the pair of shoe so they can be in sync with what's trending. Common, we live in a time where it's okay to do the wrong thing and be celebrated for it.
Many say "I've been wearing the wrong half of the pair of shoe for years and doing great without the right half of the pair", this is not so true. Imagine you are a sprinter on a race track wearing two different half of a pair of shoe (one heeled and the other isn't), the probability of you winning the race is near 0% and we are yet to factor in your deformity to the equation.
Pride and ego hinders progress. Every sprinter makes mistakes, the ability to evolve from the mistake and time it takes you to evolve is what sets the winner apart from the others. I learned this from being deformed by my past decisions (it's not what you think :p).
The "best" decision (half of the pair) will deform you while the right decision will transform you. The right decision will always be right forever whereas the best decision is only applicable for a short period of time before it expires and becomes bad. Choice is yours

Doing the right thing is always the best thing.
