You will never get to know yourself — your real preferences — unless you face options and choices.
Let’s say you don’t like the pursuit of wealth creation. Do you genuinely not like it? Or are you rationalizing your inability to be good at it? This differentiation is super important.
Actively choosing something while having other options in hand is how you know the true preferences.
The next time someone talks about a choice they made, go deeper into the options they had. See if the grapes are actually sour.
