Episode notes
Choices Shape Identity Over Time
- Every choice you make shapes who you become over time, steering towards positive or negative identities.
- Small daily decisions accumulate to determine your life's direction, not one big decision alone.
Cumulative Directional Choices Matter
- Directional choices accumulate, limiting future options and making course correction harder over time.
- Staying on the wrong path can leave you stuck far from where you want to be, increasing the cost of change.
Start Change with Small Steps
- Change occurs when pain of staying the same outweighs cost of change, but you need not wait for severe pain.
- Small directional changes can start anytime without massive motivation or resolved goals.
