Holding the dice forever feels safe. It also guarantees you never roll anything good.
REFLECTION
WHAT THIS MEANS
Refusing to move keeps you from losing and also from everything else, which is a trade people make without noticing they made it. Safety of that kind is not neutral; it is a slow forfeit. No roll means no bad outcome and no good one either.
Identify where you have been holding on rather than choosing. Make one small move this week that has an actual outcome attached to it. Getting a result, even a poor one, puts you back in the game.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
What are you holding onto rather than putting in play?
MORE IN MEANING & PERSPECTIVE
- Carry fear like a backpack, not a blindfold. You can bring it along and still see where you’re going.
- Your brain loves the worst case. Ask it what the likely case is. That answer is usually way more boring.
- Taking a year to figure it out isn’t falling behind. Picking the wrong path fast is what actually costs years.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
