It’s only when I go against my own principles and make a mistake that the decision ends up haunting me.
If I make a mistake while trying to do what I believe is right then it doesn’t bother me at all.

If we never make a mistake, we probably weren’t stretching ourselves enough. 🫡🙌
a decision does not “turn out” to be a mistake.
Semantics no? A decent 3 point shot for the win but was missed… etc
Relatable.
We must trust our instincts.
I find that's why it's best to not always share our plans with others, they may think they are helping but it only ends up causing more confusion.

I like the Egyptian Book of the Dead metaphor with the soul eater and the heart being weighed against a feather. I want my heart to be as light as a feather when I die.
Seems important.
I have a tiny feather in a small chiffon pouch in a small drawer in the room where I do Zazen to remind me.

yeah, you are describing the the deepest sense of liberty.
not an empty notion of freedom:
i am free to do whatever i want, cause im an empty jar filled with nothing, free to be filled with anything
the real notion of freedom:
i am free to live a fully, deeply meaningful life, cause i filled myself full of principle and virtue, a strong and antifragile human being, who transcends useless anxiety and stress
