Theeo Principle №351
Decide Your Trade-Offs Actively

Lifetimes of conditioning in a right, wrong, black, white, linear, and lack-based world may have set you up to believe that only one answer or decision exists.

This is manifestly untrue.

The architecture of right and wrong is flawed. Truths and solutions are wholly subjective. Everyone has their own, and rarely does a system operate successfully, morally, or ethically in a binary framework. Most often we have been hoodwinked into thinking that the answer is out there somewhere – fixed and certain – and you just haven’t come upon it yet.

Also untrue.

Answers are emergent, co-creative, trial-and-error, iterative, and momentary. Decisions are activators for the next moment you'll stand in, before you seek another answer and make another decision.

More than one possibility always exists. Why? Because potential is infinite. What you are trading off in any given moment – particularly for strategically big choices – is an exercise in weighing. No single choice is the ultimate solution. Nor will it ever be.

You can always make a different choice to activate more potential in the next new moment.

Solutions rarely exist. Most everything is simply a trade-off.
