\u201cRyan? Do you ever think back with regret on the choices you\u2019ve made?\u201d He wasn\u2019t sure how to answer that. Had he made choices? He hadn\u2019t really thought of it that way.”<\/p>Jess Walter, The Cold Millions<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get to where you are currently in life? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you made conscious choices along the way or was life a series of actions and responses that led you here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of us live life by default. We move through life reacting to responding to situations and circumstances as they occur. Time passes. And there we are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a default mechanism at place, and many of us can’t see what’s driving our actions and choices – when we think about them as choices at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something happens and we think, “Now I have to \u2026” But in service of what? Are you making choices to stay safe? Choices to make us happy? Choices of convenience – the path of least resistance? Or does it not even occur as a choice? There is just what there is to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viktor Frankl, author of “Man’s Search for Meaning” said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBetween stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” <\/p>Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search For Meaning<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When’s the last time you actually stopped and pondered a response to a stimulus?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This topic is covered quite a bit in the study of emotional intelligence. And, it is a learned skill to stop and choose a reaction rather than just react. Wouldn’t it be great to have a clearly defined touchstone to connect with in the moment between stimulus and response? I call this your Key Difference\u2122\ufe0f. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Key Difference\u2122\ufe0f is your foundation of operations AND a touchstone with which to make choices moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting words to what your life and or business is about is a tremendously powerful tool to operate from. It’s an opportunity to create a path to fulfillment and satisfaction with life as it occurs. It’s a opportunity to live and operate with power regardless of life’s circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is your life driven by circumstance or by choice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you living by default or do have a mission, a goal, or a vision for what you are creating? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re living by default, let’s talk about what it would take to Draw A Door\u00ae\ufe0f.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
