“Who decides what the options are? Who chooses the menu of choices? How did we get to the place where these are the last options? What if every option has consequences? Every option has consequences! If I control your options, I control your choices, even while allowing you to perceive the right to choose.” J Loren Norris EVERY ACTION HAS A REACTION AS WELL AS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OR A RIPPLE EFFECT
“Who decides what the options are? Who chooses the menu of choices? How did we get to the place where these are the last options? What if every option has consequences? Every option has consequences! If I control your options, I control your choices, even while allowing you to perceive the right to choose.” J Loren Norris LIMITED OPTIONS ILLUSION This concept of limited options is a very subtle form of hypnotic suggestion. This form of manipulation has a way of simultaneously creating a sense of urgency, compulsion and an odd form of attachment to confirmation biases. The idea of limiting options is designed to make choosing easier by removing the clutter of undesirable or impractical options. Raising Cane Chicken offers chicken... No burgers, no grilled cheese, no salad. Your options are limited to slaw and fries or no. If I offered another option and said you can have chicken or cow patties, you might feel like you have freedom to choose but it is an illusion. CONTROL THE OPTIONS If I control your options, I control your choices, even while allowing you to perceive the right to choose. Riots or peaceful protestors? Law enforcement is the last line of civil defense or policing as a concept is systemic racism? Cashless society or die of a virus? Shut down businesses, schools and churches or die of a virus? Vote for a Republican or vote for a Democrat? On the surface, these look like choices which should be simple to make, but the surface does not to reveal the truth about the consequences of the ripple effect. CONTROL IS THE POINT Most humans resist being controlled. Most humans do not like to be told what to do, when to do it or how to do it. Most governments grow, maintain and retain their power by controlling people who do not want to be controlled. Everyday a person has power, the more that power becomes seductive. As the old says goes, “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” When a politician’s track record includes amassed wealth beyond their salary and terms of service extended beyond reason, there must be an eyebrow raised. Many politicians see the lure of power, influence and control as the primary purpose for office rather than serving the people or community. When this seduction reaches its full capacity, they will pull out all the stops to hold on to power. They will lie, cheat, steal, kill, deceive, control and make “the people” feel like they are still the best choice. If I control your options, I control your choices, even while allowing you to perceive the right to choose. ___________________________________ Help us take this message to young leaders around the world.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
