Autonomes choices comes with the cost of the responsibility, - The cost of the action needed - The risk(s) involved with the selected choice The freedom and power to choose must be balanced by a respect for the randomness of the world that surround us Our choices will always be restrained by both internal and external factors we can't control 100% We are formed by our past experiences, our relations and affected by events outside our realm of control even before we are born. We need to master the paradox of the randomness of life and how we consciously decides to adresse the randomness we meet in our lives. The paradox between choice and randomness is that we need to dare to make the choice and own the consequences while we need to accept that some events in our life happens randomly outside our sphere of control There are things that we dont need to take responsibility for and change ## Opposite - Everything rests on my shoulders, I have to make it work - I am just a tiny pawn in a big game, I have no say in the outcome ## Relates to [[The not choice]] ## Sources [[Book - Life Leadership - Mastering the paradoxes]] Chapter 1
