On his birthday this year, Rick Tamlyn committed to a whole year of not making any decisions from a place of fear. That reminded me of other things he taught me and the power of making choices. Decision Time? 3 Options to Consider by Rick Tamlyn sparked my thoughts for this episode. Highlights * Making decisions from love and compassion * The power of simply choosing * What if there’s no “wrong” choice? * There is no such thing as “hell maybe!” * How is fear of the outcome playing into your decision making process? * 5 x “And then what…” * Choosing is a way out of being stuck even if you don’t know the outcome * Taking things less seriously * What am you really desiring? * Gary Mahler: “I only do what I want. And I don’t do what I don’t want to do even if it will get me what I want.” * “Should” is a horrible motivator * Choosing as a way of creating the experience you want to have * In your response are your “creating” or “reacting?” * What are you creating around you based on what you are choosing?
