What is Comfortable is Not Always Right

There are so many times where I would rather just allow someone to do something because it makes things easier for me or it is something that I am more comfortable with. As I am working more with children, I realize that this is not a good habit to get into. Even though what the kid may be doing is easier for me to monitor, it still may not be the best option for them. This applies to more than just children that I work with, however. For instance, a friend of mine may think that it is a good idea to go and hang out with a guy that we both know isn't good for her, and I tell her that she should because I don't want her to get mad at me or think that I am looking down on her. Although it is more comfortable to tell her its okay, deep down inside we know that it isn't right. Side note: that situation never really happened, it really is just a random example. I guess my point is that even though something seems difficult or it is going to make you feel uncomfortable, don't shy away from it. As for me, I want to be the friend that chooses what is right and best for the other person rather than choosing the option that is going to be easier for the both of us.
