Go for it Monica. We only get this one chance to live life large, while we still can. As for conversing with CHATGPT I do that daily. Its good to have a side kick who brings me all possible options to my Neverending questions. I have disappointed the poor thing many times. Lol.

ChatGPT is great for people like us who have zillions of questions. I have learnt so much. I have even named this buddy of mine - Chuck!

I certainly hope YOUR decision outweighs the test of the courtroom! Many of us here will applaud loudly, I'm sure. ⛵

Great piece Monica. Disbanding that internal jury and stepping up as the sole author of your life is such a clear, high-tone perspective to making real personal progress.

For some reason I feel the pull to visit the greek islands….. not sure I’d say I am into Greece, just wanta visit those islands

Loved the redo you sent - gives lots of reasons to pause. I particularly liked the connection between firing the approval board and trusting (and not abandoning) ourselves. That is the path to freedom, that is the way to live your truth.

Greece is beautiful and the food is delicious! If it’s a tour, you will be able to relax and not have to make a lot of decisions. And you will meet people. We have always travelled independently but did our first group tour last spring and loved it! Btw, you were a teacher? Never heard that before but it makes sense, you have the skillset .Hope you hear the voice that says “do it”!

No I am not a teacher, that is not my story, it is a friends.

Got it. Was wondering how I missed that. Good story, nonetheless. Relate to the deliberation about decision-making.

Aptly said.

The excursions I've taken trying out AI prove my position that 'ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do' - hooray! A couple of times I've told the chatbot that it is not my parent. Or that it is presumptuous in suggesting I do something. I remind it that it is a bunch of ones and zeros and while some call it 'machine learning' it is not even a machine - only a bunch of electrons. Since I won't take direction from a human without evaluating the risks and benefits, I'm sure as shit not taking it from some meddling modelling sequences.

Bless you, Monica, I'm so glad you're learning this about how you make (or don't make) decisions).
