This even applies to simple decisions. For instance, when deciding what to do for dinner on a particularly long day. If I eat out then that cost money that I could use to do something fun like go to a movie. However, if I go home and cook, that's more time till I go to bed and then I might be exhausted and sluggish the next day.

The choices are what build character and reputations. Like a movie, if you put it all a person’s choices together you begin to see their story. A great quote from Professor Dumbledore says, "It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities."
