Gandy wrote that a no, uttered from the deepest conviction, is better than a yes merely uttered to please. And i think that there is something inspirational in that for all of us, that that we get honest about why we're doing something. If it's simply to please, it's not a good enough reason. And if it's just to avoid trouble, that might be a worse reason. But that we get back to deep convictions within ourselves that we feel aright - regardless of what other people say or what else is going on.
When was the last time you felt like you didn't have a choice?
Life is full of difficult situations where it feels like the only answer is simply, "I have to".
But this answer removes our power of choice.
Join my wife Anna and me as we explore why it is so important to nurture the power of choice in yourself and those you love.
Learn how to:
- Take control of your choices by changing "I have to" to "I choose to because..."
- Avoid giving too much influence to outside voices.
- Nurture the power of choice in your own family.
