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.
