"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." --Franz Kafka
What Are Your Non-Negotiables?
"Many of us were not taught self-determination. We were not taught to trust our intrinsic natures, our own personal sense of knowing, our internally directed discrimination. Instead, life presents itself externally as a banquet, from which we choose.If the item is not in the banquet, then we go without, or bend ourselves to choose something 'sort of like' the thing we really want." In this article, Kelly Wendorf offers several such insights and guiding questions to help hone our intuition and the skill of self-determination through discernment.
