Ep. 113 | Why You Can't Make Brave Decisions Based on What Might Happen

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm telling you about an amend I almost didn't make — because I was certain I already knew how it would end.  My spiritual teacher said something to me that I have never forgotten.  Thomas Merton writes that we have to stop depending on the hope of results and start concentrating on the value, the rightness, and the truth of the work itself.  She didn't pick up. And something in me still cleared. Question to carry into your day: What are you not doing because you've already decided how it ends? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
