Memory: Part 3

"Any time we are faced with a difficult situation, or if something keeps us from doing what we are planning to do, we come to a crossroads. We think: What should I do next? What are my choices? How does one option compare to another? This can include big problems, such as what to do after losing a job, but it also comes into play in the small decisions we make day-to-day. For example, when driving to work, what route do we take? If there is a traffic jam, do we take a different route? How do we decide? Or, if an item breaks, how do we decide whether to fix it or throw it away? If we decide to fix it, how do we do it? New batteries? Scotch tape? Glue? There are so many decisions we make moment to moment based on what we know about possible outcomes."
