- I had a fascinating experience many years ago when I was 9 years old.
We went on a cruise (won a holiday, highly suggest trying out radio show call-in giveaways). There was a moment in the youth entertainment group where we were supposed to stand on stage and straight face while others tried to make us laugh. I gave it an attempt, and though I can't remember why, I found it very embarrassing to be up on stage and stared at by well... everyone.
I remember sitting back down very abashed and thinking about wanting to take back my decision, and staring at the waves in the ocean and thinking about where that choice would leave me. What if I succeeded and felt proud? What if I was a different person. And I remember thinking that choices spread out like the ocean I was staring at, and I seem to remember it was a beginning of a simple inner-peace, which ironically actually cured my stage fright.
What I realized is that you can't change the past and thinking about all the decisions you could have made leaves you stuck in time only thinking and not acting or living.
This episode reminded me of that which was an interesting moment in my life that I hadn't thought about in a long time.
So if you get stuck thinking about the fact that you don't have free will. Simply decide to have free will, and you will have it. Else you will never have any more branches in your life ever, free will or not.
Love the show guys. Thanks for my neurons fire. :)
