CRITICAL CHOICES THAT CHANGE LIVES is about the principles that heroes have followed for thousands of years to turn tragedy into triumph. It is a collection of stories about ordinary people whose critical choices turned them into heroes. As you read these stories, you will realize that a pattern is developing. Certain principles will begin to emerge that consistently lead to victory. History shows us that these principles have always existed. This book simply collects them into one place and organizes them in a logical fashion. These stories demonstrate that those who tend to survive and prosper in the midst of adversity are able to make critical choices that others do not - because they can see and hear options that others cannot. That's what makes them heroes. But what gives them the ability to see and hear options that others can't? The secret is how heroes answer these three critical questions. (1) What are you focusing on? (2) What do you believe? and (3) What are you expecting? These are the three questions behind almost every important decision you will ever make. How you answer these questions determines the outcome of almost every difficult situation you are likely to face. When you read these stories, you will learn how heroes answer these questions in the heat of the battle - and the tremendous impact it has on the final outcome. At the heart of the principles revealed in this book are The Seven Laws of Critical Focus.™ The Seven Laws of Critical Focus™ explain why some people are able to survive and prosper in the midst of adversity while others do not. Here are The Seven Laws of Critical Focus™: (1)Our most recent experiences influence what we focus on, whether we like it or not. (2)What we focus on determines what we believe. (3)What we believe determines what we expect. (4)We tend to see what we're expecting to see. (5)We tend to filter out what we're not expecting to see. (6)The more we see, the more options that are available to us. (7)We have the power to choose what to focus on no matter what is going on in the world around us. The Seven Laws of Critical Focus™ are natural laws that govern how you see life, what you expect from life and how you respond to life. Once you understand how the Seven Laws of Critical Focus™ work, your eyes will be opened and you will see and hear opportunities you never have before, you will see new solutions to old problems, you will see alternative paths where others see only dead ends, that you will see the blind spots in your life that are holding you back, that you will see the bigger purpose behind what you are doing. In short, you will be able to see through the eyes of heroes. The stories in the book demonstrate that, in each of our lives, there is usually a decision behind the decision we are about to make. Some of these "behind the scenes" decisions we make subconsciously without even knowing it. This is an invitation to look deeper: to peel back the layers of the onion and get at the core of the issue. Most psychiatrists, psychologists and behavioral scientists agree with the elementary principle that circumstances do not control our fate - choices do. But this is only half of the whole principle. What they leave out is that how you deal with the situation depends on what you can see and hear in the heat of the battle. What you can see and hear in the midst of the battle depends on what you are focusing on, what you believe and what you are expecting. That's why these are the three most critical choices you can make.
