Question: There is a little puzzle, three frogs were sitting on a log, one decided to jump. How many frogs are left on the log?

Answer: This is an old puzzle. “Decided to jump” and “jumped” are not the same thing.

Question: Exactly! So, three frogs are still sitting on the log. Sometimes, we think we’ve jumped, but in reality, we’re still deciding whether to jump. I have a question: How do you make decisions correctly?

Answer: You can make a decision correctly if you absolutely know its outcome in advance and are already in that outcome. It’s like looking at the present from the future.

Question: So, you have to anticipate and foresee the result?

Answer: Absolutely! What else is a decision for? It’s a decision about the future.

Question: You sort of place yourself in it and then make the decision?

Answer: Of course.

Question: When you decide, do you have to jump right away? Is there any time for reflection?

Answer: If you have decided definitively, rechecked yourself, and conclusively decided, then you must act. Otherwise, every minute is a delay.

Question: Tell me, how do you reassess? Do you reassess yourself? Measure seven times…

Answer: No. I don’t know about seven times, but you have to assess. Because it shouldn’t depend on your momentary mood or any conditions. It should be a normal, firm decision.

Question: So, if you made the decision, after all these checks, you have to jump?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But what if you made the wrong decision? Checked everything, did everything, and made the wrong decision.

Answer: How do you know it’s wrong?

Comment: You ended up not where you wanted.

My Response: But that’s after the decision.

Comment: After I’ve already jumped.

My Response: After implementation?

Question: Yes, exactly. I realized I made the wrong decision. What should I do about it?

Answer: Do nothing.

Question: But I beat myself up over it! Checked everything, jumped, and everything’s wrong?!

Answer: There’s nothing you can do. Nothing more to do, nothing to blame.

Question: Don’t blame yourself?

Answer: No, under no circumstances!

Question: How do you not fall into doing so?

Answer: Attribute all that to the Creator.

Question: So, measure beforehand and after it happened…

Answer: The Creator did it. Absolutely clearly, the Creator.

Comment: That is, we have now come to the golden rule. I check everything…

My Response: I decide, I act, and the rest is up to the Creator.

Question: And then the result is the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: No regrets, nothing?

Answer: Nothing. That’s how it was intended from the beginning.

Question: So, He was spinning me around from the start, I was reassessing it and it wasn’t me doing it? He was the one twisting me?

If one could live like this, there would be nothing to regret at all.

Answer: Then live like that.

Comment: “Live like that”! If only we could learn to live like that.

My Response: Don’t regret anything and don’t think about anything at all! Everything is arranged from above.
