It Is Rarely One Big Choice or Decision That Alters a Person’s Life.
It is rarely one big choice or decision that alters a person’s life. More often it is the small daily choices made over and over again that dramatically affect the outcome. There is something to be said for small choices made consistently. These decisions are compounded with time and have a dramatic effect after 6 months, a year, 10 years.
