    How To Make Better Decisions To Get The Outcomes You Want

    If your life is filled with stress and an overall sense of unhappiness, you may be unknowingly making decisions that are hurting you in ways that you don’t even realize.

    Picture a funnel for a moment. A funnel can be a great visualization of what happens when you make a decision. The stem (the small opening) represents the choice you have before you. The mouth (the wide part) represents the outcomes that manifest because of those choices.

    I like that visualization because a choice stems from a thought that leads to an action that could lead to massive change in your life. Your choice “funnels” out into the world, affecting you and everything in it sometimes.

    If you’ve ever come out of a relationship feeling unlovable and unworthy, it’s time to consider the source of this false belief and how you are sabotaging yourself for future relationships.

    Also, I read an email about conditional versus unconditional love and just what makes up love anyway.

    There’s a great lie many of us use throughout life called a quantifier.

    A quantifier indicates the quantity of something. Anytime you insert quantifiers in a statement about what you can or can’t do, you may inadvertently limit your capacity to succeed.

    Here are some examples:

    “Everyone knows that won’t work” 
    “He is always mad at me” 
    “I can’t do that because no one would like it” [Read more…]
