What's happening? How are you? How's your day going? How's your week going? How's your life going? All that stuff? Good?

Good? Well, challenging, maybe. That's okay. That's life. It happens. We'll work on that today because that's what we do around here. And you know, I think the issue is, I think you may have too many choices. Wait a second, Scott, I don't have that many choices. Are you kidding me? Yeah, you do. There's so many choices these days and it's confusing you and it's paralyzing you and it's not a good thing. And we'll talk about that today. I'll do the best I can to see if I can talk you out of all the choices you think you need to have. Cool. You can bear with me. Just come on over the ride, okay? It is a daily boost.

And not a bad way could be a good way to just the very minute that you decide to get some work on. Somebody says, Hey, I'm having a party. You want to come? That's a good thing, right? It happens day by day. Have you noticed you get out of bed in the morning and you get up and you start doing your thing and then just stuff happens all day long. People things got to be dealt with.

Choices are, um, man. You have too many choices in your life. You do. There is too much going on. You have too many options. The first world problem, right?

You live in America like I do. We have so many choices. And that's the issue. Look at media. Look at social media. Look at everything. It's a look at grocery store. I know this is a

fly chain is kind of messed up that the shelves are a little bit a little bit bare and it's expensive. But still you got a lot of choices. Don't you? I was just there. Yes, it's crazy. You know, way back in 2005, it seems like a long time ago. What about 17 years now?

Holy moly.

Barry Schwartz wrote a book called the paradox of choice.

In that book, it challenged the traditional way of thinking that the way to get maximum freedom is for maximum choice. I see this all the time. And heck, it's, to me, it's kind of a juvenile way of thinking. I know because I was a juvenile one time. That's how I thought.

I just want freedom. Let me do what I want to do. I don't want to do term papers. I don't want to have to pay attention to people. I don't want to clean my room. Come on. You're pushing me around. Stop telling me what to do. I want freedom. Just let me choose all the things that are out that let me go do them.

Maximum freedom comes from maximum choice. Is it true? I always like to have choice. I never like anybody to say no to me, but I don't want too many choices because then I got to figure stuff out and it's always complicated when that happens. So too many choices.

Not necessarily a good thing.

They can and they will create paralysis. So just in a moment right now, just think about this. If you have a lot of things going on in your world where you can't stop and pause and think you just have tons of things happening.

Too many decisions to be made. Is it stopping you? I guess is yes.

I talked to a lot of people and oftentimes they don't want to make a decision. They get stuck and I said, well, it's either because you just got too much stuff going on. They don't mean anything to you or you just don't know what to do.

Imagine it's all happening at the same time. So think about it right now. Are there too many things that you have brought into your life?

Family, friends, all the stuff that is happening now. We have freedom now because you know, no more mass mandates and things like that.

People can get out and fly around and do things so much freedom. What are you going to do?

Well, I have some advice for you as you might expect. And this has been hard one over the years. This is something I've had to fight.
