In our busy lives, we often overlook the significance of the decisions we make daily. From small choices, like what to have for breakfast, to monumental ones, such as who to love or where to live, every decision shapes our journey. Sharing a thought-provoking quote from Henry David Thoreau: “The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life which is required to be exchanged for it immediately or in the long run,” Lori emphasizes the importance of making decisions not just with our minds but also with our hearts and guts.
She introduces the concept of ‘hut’—a blend of heart and gut—highlighting that both areas possess neurons that send signals, guiding us toward the right choices. With 40,000 neurons in our heart and 100 million in our gut, these organs are more than mere body parts; they are integral to our decision-making process.
Sharing personal stories, tapping into her feelings and allowing herself to say ‘yes’ to opportunities, she ultimately finds herself on journeys she long desired.
