No Options

Too many options make decision making difficult and sometimes impossible.  Clarity comes with focus and it is only when our options are narrowed to two that we can make a choice.  The genius of our computer programming is that billions of binary decisions are made in milliseconds that allow us to access information almost instantaneously.  In binary decisions it is either yes or no, true or false, this way or that way.  Decisions are made from options but when a decision has been made options have been ruled out. 

The next time you have a difficult decision to make that involves too many options, instead of trying to choose between them, try making a binary decision on each one or between two at a time.  The power of choice is the power of focus.  The power of focus is the power of one thing at a time.  We must choose what to include and what to occlude.  If failure is not an option, you have made a binary decision between success and failure and you will never give up until you succeed. 

Our GPS navigation systems will only show our present location until we give it a destination, and it will only give directions to one specific destination at a time.  Since we can process information more efficiently that computers and faster than most, it appears that we need to learn and exercise the power of disciplined binary decision making in order to maximize our potential.  Whatever we focus on will draw our power, energy, and resources.  Choices release power and decisions have consequences.  If our focus is selfish, we will implode, because all that power was never meant for us alone.  If our focus is vengeance and fairness, we will explode, because we can never correct or right all the wrongs done in the world.  If our focus is for the good of all, we will make the best contribution of our gifts, talents, and resources to deplode, which helps to limit the number of implosions and explosions in the world.
