Spontaneity.

Spontaneity has its time and its place.

Following steps to a good decision sounds as if it robs you of authenticity.

Of spontaneity.

Quite the opposite.

Following a process - whether the Five Steps or another sequence of your own - anchors you in a conscious, aware state, that observes, and learns from, what happens. As you incorporate what you learn, you ‘improve’ - whatever that means.

You grow from ‘Here’s what my parents expected of me’ or ‘Here’s what my boss expects of me’ to ‘Here’s what I expect of me.’

You change into … You.

Before too long, like any habit such as riding a bike or driving a car, the majority of your decisions is unconscious - leaving more attentiveness, capacity, and energy for sudden deviations (the car in front braking) requiring conscious decision making.

Spontaneity.

In that spontaneity is your authenticity.

Your ‘scripted’ stepped out decisions develop your brain to the point where you feel the confidence to be - You.

The world will respond accordingly to this new, unique, never-before-walked-the-earth -

You.
