The Sentry.

We stand before the making of a decision as we stand before a sentry.

The decision challenges us as it impedes our forward momentum.

‘Halt! Who goes there?!’

We stop and answer.

‘I am an Ego!’ (Step 1 - Step Back.)

‘Here’s where I’m headed!!’ (Step 2 - Define the Issue.)

‘Where am I?!’ (Step 3 - Assess the Information.)

‘How can you help my progress?’ (Step 4 - Give a hearing.)

‘What have I missed?’ (Step 5 - Check for bias.)
