What drives you to make decisions? - Part I
When it comes to making major life decisions, we make decisions based on a combination of:
What do we value with regard to the thing in the picture that we need to make a decision on?
What are our underlying needs in relation to that decision?
What are our belief systems around that thing in the picture that often becomes a part of our operating paradigm?
In part 1, we look at how we make decisions based on our core values.
Our values are a result of our habits. We form habits by repeating a seat of actions influenced by triggers with associated rewards. The triggers are often environmental or psychological i.e. what we see and hear around us, our internal narrative, and how we think and feel about different things. And that our environmental and psychological triggers are a direct result of our belief system.

What do you want people to say in your eulogy?
If you’re reading this, two things are true:
You are alive today
You will die one day
That is the universal truth.
Death is inevitable. One moment you are here and the next moment you could be gone. But life is a choice and this is your life. So would it be worth making choices consciously that are guided by your core values (instead of operating on someone else's) that drive you to take actions that fulfill your needs and wants?
And what if you were to reverse engineer death by writing your eulogy? In this episode, you'll learn a 7-step process to write your own eulogy that you can use as a guiding framework for your life you want to create for yourself.
