Beware the Seductive Power of Being Picked

Waiting to be picked is a dangerously addictive behavior. In fact, it’s so powerful, it can actually cloud our judgment later in life.
I’ve watched countless women being pulled off their life's path because they’ve succumbed to the power of being chosen for something they actually don’t want to do. They say yes to something even before they’ve had a chance to think about what they’re agreeing to.
Today I want to share with you three questions to think about the next time someone chooses you. These critical questions are designed to help you make the best choice...for YOU.

Here Are The Highlights:
- The highly addictive power of saying ‘yes’ or being chosen (7:00)
- Arguably the most important question to ask yourself when making - a decision or being chosen (9:40)
- By saying yes to something, are you saying no to something more important? (10:50)
