START WITH HEART 43

Refuse the Sucker's Choice
• As you consider what you want, notice when you start talking
yourself into a Sucker's Choice.

• Watch to see if you're telling yourself that you must choose
between peace and honesty, between winning and losing,
and so on.

• Break free of these Sucker's Choices by searching for the
and.
• Clarify what you don't want, add it to what you do want,
and ask your brain to start searching for healthy options to
bring you to dialogue.
