In Search Of Heroes Spreads Good News About Everyday, Real-Life Heroes Who Deserve Recognition For Their Good Works

Ralph Zuranski: Is it beneficial to make decisions quickly?

Paulie Sabol: Historically, it always has been. I think the benefit of making quick decisions is becoming even more clear now, and I would encourage every one of your young heroes to read a book by Malcolm Gladwell called Blink. Blink shows us that even if we are amateurs at something, if we don’t have degrees, if we haven’t become fully immersed in an area of study, the fact of the matter is, our quick momentary intuitions are often more right than the experts are.

So the ability to make a decision, to realize you’ve made a decision, and then to put motion behind that decision is exceptionally valuable.

Ralph Zuranski: Are you slow to revise or reverse any important decisions that you’ve made?

Paulie Sabol: I am slow to do so. In fact, the universe is slow to do so. There is the natural law of inertia that tells us that a body at rest tends to stay at rest, while a body in motion tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

So this is the way that I apply it. I am slow to change a decision until there is an outside force. Now my recommendation is if you can get the outside force in a feather, if you can get the message way ahead of the game, and you can adjust and course correct, do so.

Because very often, if you don’t get it in the feather, you’re going to get it in the Mack truck. The outside force of the Mack truck, which is kind of metaphorically saying, you will continue to make the same mistake, and more of the same results, and perhaps higher impact from those results, until you do change.

So while it is valuable to stick with long term, even through the downsides and the occasional disappointments of a system that works, it makes good sense to quickly change your mind, and as quickly as possible when the results are not fulfilling and are not what you want.

Ralph Zuranski: Everybody suffers from doubts and fears. How are you able to overcome your doubts and fears?

Paulie Sabol: I really feel it is important to humbly fear with everyone who is listening, I haven’t overcome all of my fears and doubts yet, but I do have a strategy. I have a strategy for facing doubts or fears, and it is really kind of an eight point strategy. Can I share it with everybody?

Ralph Zuranski: I would love to hear it myself.

Paulie Sabol: The first part of my strategy is to feel that fear without judgment or understanding. Whatever that doubt is, I just want to recognize and acknowledge it, because one of my other philosophical beliefs that we didn’t get to, Ralph, is a belief that every part of you seeks for you your highest and greatest good.

In fact, you always act the very best way you possibly can with your current understanding, your current skill sets, and your current abilities. To me that doubt is a gift, it is a part of me saying, “Pay some attention.” And so I do, I give it the gift of my attention.

The second thing I do is intensify the feeling for a moment. I say, “Okay, give me all you’ve got doubt and fear – I want it all.” What I do in that intensification period is the third part.

I imagine the worst possible consequence or scenario if I go ahead and take action despite the fears that I’m feeling and the doubts that I’m having. Then I ask this question to all of myself, including that fear and doubt part, “Can we live with that result? Is that something that we can live with?”

Now, if the answer is, “No,” then we go back and rethink. I invite that part of me that wants to take an action, or wants to do something that is this area of fear and doubt. What does it have in mind for me? I actually let those parts work out with one another. I meditate with them and communicate with them.

Very often we come to a good scenario, a good conclusion. But let’s say I can live with the worst possible scenario, then I go on to step five. That is to think about the upside potential. What could happen? How could it be a blessing to myself and others if I go ahead?

Even if there are some residual feelings of doubt and fear, and go ahead and move on anyway? Then I ask myself if I could love that result. Would it truly be a blessing to me? And then, if the likelihood that the worst result is much, much less than that I will have any of the positive results, then I go ahead and move forward.

The very last step is the important one, which is that eighth step. If the likelihood of success is actually less than the likelihood of this worst case scenario happening, then I rethink my strategy.

So those are my options. I either take action while I’m still fearing the fear, after I’ve decided that it is in my favor, the odds are with me, kind of like the force being with Luke Skywalker. Or if the odds aren’t with me, I try to change the odds.
