As We Get Older, We Get Better

The Expansion Of Choice Has Become An Explosion Of Choice.

So On The One Hand In School You're Teachers Are Constantly Telling You That You Can Be Whatever It Is You Want To Be As Long As You Put Your Mind And Heart To It, And Yet At The Same Time I Was Also Getting The Clear Message Of, Well, What Can You Do Really?

About The Only Time Our Gut Can Truly Outperform Our Reason Is If We Truly Have Developed A Kind Of Informed Intuition. So That Means The Chess Master Or Someone Who Has Really Thought About It And Given Themselves Feedback On A Particular Activity For At Least 10,000 Hours Or More.

I Think Of Choosing As A... Both A Fun And An Effortful Activity And I Think Of Choice As Something That In Order For You To Really Get What You Want Out Of It You Have To Put A Lot Into It And So I'm Only Willing To Do That For A Few Different Things And For The Rest I Really Just Try To Either Satisfy, Come Up With A Simple Rule Or Let Somebody Else Make The Choice.

Choice Is The Only Tool We Have That Enables Us To Go From Who We Are Today To Who We Want To Be Tomorrow.
