The Flip of a Coin

One of my favorite coaches, Michael Neill, sometimes advises people to flip a coin when they are having trouble making a difficult decision.

Why? Is he really leaving what could be a major life choice up to chance?

Not at all. Try it. See how you feel when the coin lands. What I find is that I end up rooting for head or tails, or I'm excited or disappointed when the coin lands.

When this happens, I know what I really want. Not what I think I should want. And then I can do that.

And you can too.
