Do you compare your current decisions with an ideal outcome that did not happen?

Today, I am flying solo to dive deep into the concept of comparison and its impact on our happiness and decision-making. I will explore how we often measure ourselves against idealized outcomes or imagined scenarios rather than focusing on our unique journeys. I will also introduce the “rewind button” exercise, encouraging you to reflect on your past decisions and consider whether you would make the same choice again, armed with the knowledge you have now. 

This episode of The Greatness Machine will emphasize the importance of owning our choices, even when the outcomes aren’t what we expected. This will also highlight how cultivating gratitude for the lessons learned along the way can transform our perspective and foster personal growth. 

Topics include:

The downside of comparing yourself to idealized or imagined outcomes

The rewind button exercise for gaining clarity on past decisions

Owning your choices, regardless of the final outcome

Cultivating gratitude in hindsight for both the challenges and successes

Practicing conscious leadership by being aware of your decisions and their impact

Focusing on the present moment and maximizing its potential

And other topics…
