Should I use my head or my heart when making this decision?7
This is not an either/or situation - this is a both/and opportunity. I can't think of any example where the decision would be best with only using one or the other.

WOS: Are you sailing in salt water?
Theologian John Dunn shares a story of a group of sailors who reached South America after a long and treacherous journey. They entered the Amazon River, assuming it was a continuation of the Atlantic Ocean and had run out of fresh water, not realizing that they were sailing on top of one of the biggest bodies of fresh water in the world. Some of them died of thirst. They met another ship and asked for some fresh water and were told to lower their buckets because they were sailing on fresh water. What about you? Are you sailing on fresh water and dying of thirst? Perhaps all you have to do is lower your bucket.

But I can't do that…
A listener has a simple idea but dismisses it because he doesn't have three thousand dollars to get started. Is that really an obstacle?

You can't handle the truth…
Okay, I'm borrowing that line from A Few Good Men - but there are so many applications. Some of you can't handle making extraordinary money because you think too little of yourself. Some of you are waiting to start your dream because you don't have a perfect plan. Some of you say you want more success but won't invest $20 in a book or $97 in a course that could show you the way. Some of you are spending your time doing what most anyone else could do.

But that's just the way I am...
Yes, I encourage you to stay true to yourself - but that doesn't mean you can't learn and grow. Knowing yourself is never an excuse for low performance or for staying the same year after year. You can thrive and prosper even while embracing your unique self. Episode #880. March 31, 2023 Questions we look at this week: 1. I just want to make enough money so I don't have to work anymore. 2. I got laid off because the owner wants to preserve cash. 3. I want to start my own business but I know so little about the technical aspects of web development and marketing. 4. I have looked inward at my skills, abilities, and personality traits as well as my values, dreams, and passions and the few things I have come up with don't really excite or interest me.
