Listen without excuse and Act with Courage

Listen without excuse

When you hear your conscience speak, don’t try to convince yourself out of it by rationalizing the other choice. If your choice brings you peace, you are probably on the right track. Note that peace and happiness are not synonymous.

Act with Courage

The author believes that one of the greatest acts of courage is our ability to make intentional decisions between the space of stimulus and response. Do not let rationilization, what if or if only thinking to take away the peace of your decision. Once you have made a decision that is in alignment with your principles, choose to accept the discomfort that comes with it.
