"Fast decisions often stem from fear, which narrows perspective and limits the quality of long-term outcomes. The internal voices are often coming from a reactive place in our psyche, focused on fear, control, and power."
"Author Daniel Kahneman showed us how quickly we default to reactive-driven thinking. He describes a shrinking of our perspective at precisely the moment we most need to expand it."
"The Quaker tradition's 'Clearness Committee' embodies two convictions: our guidance system comes from the inner teacher in each of us, and a community is needed to help clarify that voice."
"Holding the 'tragic gap' builds courage to delay certainty in the service of more-aligned decisions, allowing for a more thoughtful and reflective decision-making process."
Fast decision-making often arises from fear, which constricts perspective and diminishes long-term outcomes. Slowing down allows for the exploration of values and hidden factors. The 'self-clearness' process encourages reflection and honest questioning to uncover deeper interests. Holding the 'tragic gap' fosters the courage to delay certainty, enabling more aligned decision-making. The Quaker tradition's 'Clearness Committee' exemplifies this approach, emphasizing inner guidance and community support in clarifying decisions.
