One of the most difficult things that any of us must learn in life is which map to follow. Every day there are decisions to make in every area of our lives. And because most of us view both life and our minds as being complex, we find decision-making complex. The ego is very good at hiding from us the simple truth that all decisions are based on either love or fear. It also keeps us in the dark about the fact that all of our decisions lead to only one of two possible outcomes: happiness or unhappiness.
