Horses, Fools, and Winners: Three Kinds of Choices

From the Self-Brain Surgery Newsletter Archive

Hey my friend,

How was your week?

Things are good here, but we’ve all been sick with a flu-like virus for the past week (it’s not Covid!). I was better yesterday, but today we’re all pretty much down again. Pray we shake it off by Monday!

Something I'm Pondering:

A while back, I heard someone talking about a tough business situation they were in, and they said, "I don't have a choice. This is how it's got to be."

In thinking about that, I realized that so often in life relationships, businesses, friendships, politics, and even whole organizations crash into turmoil because of the choices we believe we "have" to make.

And it hit me that there are three basic kinds of choices we can make in most situations: The Hobson's Choice, The Fool's Choice, and the Winner's Choice.
