Deal or No Deal? I recently found myself somewhat tortured over the details of a new business venture, and was letting my uncertainty get in the way of making a decision. I had been approaching the deal from a surprisingly black and white perspective, which is not in character for me, and was feeling increasingly anxious as a result. Since high anxiety is no longer a comfortable state for me, I decided it was time to get some perspective from someone so removed from my situation that I knew I’d be getting an objective point of view. Sure enough, in talking to this person about it, I was able to see how "either/or" I had become in my thinking, getting stuck in the fear that if I didn’t take this opportunity as it was presented that I would lose…what? There was the sticking point. I had an imagined, undefined loss scenario playing somewhere behind the scenes, that I had to drag out and name before I could take action with it. Once identified, I too became more objective about what I wanted to do, say, or ask to get resolution on the matter, including a thorough appraisal of what I stood to gain from being a part of the deal.
Take A Minute:
Make A Minute: It is natural as humans to fear we won’t get something we want, or that we’ll lose something we have, but don’t let those fears stand in the way of being on your path to discovery. Till next week,
Abundant regards,
