Solutions rarely exist; most everything is simply a trade-off.
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 such a binary framework. Most often, we have been hoodwinked into thinking that the or an 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, consequently, make another decision.
Moments pass and more than one possibility always exists. Why? Because potential is infinite. It's important to operate from an awareness that 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 potentials in the next new moment.
Solutions rarely exist; most everything is simply a trade-off.One More Theeo Principle
