Does this choice diminish me, or enlargement?
Page 221. Does this choice diminish me, or enlargement? The question circumvents the urge to make decisions in the service of alleviating anxiety and instead helps you to make contact with your deeper intentions for your time.
— from Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
In the book
And it helps to see how total that responsibility is — in some real sense, everything in a life is a choice. There is even a single question that can stand in for most of your hard ones: does this choice diminish me, or enlarge me? — which quietly pulls you out of deciding merely to relieve your anxiety and back toward your deeper intentions. Most people make every decision the same agonized way, and it exhausts them. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
