Great Work Quote #8

“All stress is the result of feeling as though you have no choice about something. As soon as you recognize the choices inherent in any situation, you regain a sense of being in control – and the feeling of stress will begin to disappear.”
~ Bill Cumming, Center for Access to the Power Within

I’m not exactly sure if this is true … but it certainly is a provocative and useful thought.

My own pesonal mission is “to infect a billion people with the possibilty virus” – with this equation in mind:

Stuck = no choice, no possibilities

Unstuck = new possibilities

New possibilities = choice

Choice = Freedom

Freedom = Responsibility

I want, in Peter Block’s words, to support people to assume “the responsibility of their own freedom” and through that to help people find their Great Work.
