About this episode
We’re taught early on that decisions have “right” and “wrong” answers. That if we just think long enough, research enough, prepare enough, we’ll land on the perfect choice. But life doesn’t actually work like that. Many decisions aren’t about right or wrong—they’re about options. Each one will take you somewhere different, each with its own mix of challenges, surprises, and rewards. I love how Elisabeth Kübler-Ross put it: Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You're not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you're at peace with yourself. Learning life's lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.
