94: Choosing Outside of Fear

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?
