"You have only ways to do what
 is right. It will become easier by
practice, and you enjoy in the 
midst of your trials the pleasure of
an approving conscience.
Robert E. Lee

I know that choosing the right will always lead you to the right life. With that being said, choosing the right directs you to the right path. I believe this quote is quite explanatory within itself. Simply, it is just saying that doing what is right will eventually become easy. It is just a process  For example, a football player doesn't just wake up one morning and become professional. It is all a process that needs to be taken at your own pace. In life, we all have choices. Wither they be right or wrong, we choose what goes left or right. For instance, we chose to all come to school today, Now we could have ditched but we all didn't. We just gotta choose the right.
