*How you create the freedom to choose based on having a moment to decide.*

This reminds me of [[default mode]] operations, and how many of our decisions take place in the default mode. There are heuristics at play here, and those are important for saving energy. This is like [[Thinking Fast and Slow]] and how each has its place.

It's kind of like [[Extreme Responsibility]] for our emotions, and taking control of the influence we have through [[Change the World]] by changing yourself because [[Mindsets change our mind and our future]].
This is an acknowledgement that we have the power to influence through positivity. Take responsibility and [[I haven't failed until I've blamed]]. Do I want to just give my power away through negative energy [[Power Leaks]]? Or do I want to keep as much influence as possible, and even expand my influence by the power of positive thinking.
It matters because [[I get to, not I have to]] in every situation.
### What would the opposite argument be?
Go with my instincts! Why think slow when fast is very good! Sure it will lead me astray sometimes, but I will save so much energy on the way.
