We asked several people to share with us decisions that they have made that have had a big impact in their lives. Could you answer the same question for yourself?
Could you please share the one decision that you have made that you believe has had a great impact on your life?

I decided to teach. I decided that even though at the time my guidance counselor said there were too many teachers out there and teaching didn’t pay much and electronics was booming and I was somewhat talented in that area, what I wanted to do was to teach and write. From the time I completed my teaching credentials until the time I got my first paid teaching assignment was 15 years. I did what I needed to do. I fell back on media, marketing, and advertising. And I did those well. Got some solid recognition. But that wasn’t what I wanted and in spite of wondering if I could ever get a teaching job, I kept trying. And I did get my dream job teaching college for 30 years before being forced into early retirement for health reasons. But I’m still teaching, just in a different venue.

Becoming a Christian having Jesus as my Lord and savior! And attending Al-Anon for many years with adult children of Alcoholics and dysfunctional families and celebrating recovery all tremendously changed my life for the good it works if you work it and you’re worth it progress not perfection

Hmm, I think a strong intention is nine-tenths of the rule. When I set my intention to step out of any situation and relationship that wasn’t for my highest good that involved a lot of painful families (parents, sisters, and relatives) complete break offs simply because they could not accept, they could not get away with toxic abusive behavior anymore. The choice was to stay and accept myself or they would leave causing horrific chaos and striking out behavior painful situations in their wake. So, the choice to love myself enough to do this and also not to sacrifice myself for any situation be it people or work, and love myself first has been very chaotic at first during the pandemic and economic turmoil times but As I walk into it more, I’m starting to see how it’s actually changing and resetting everything fit the better. And how I will achieve my real dream through this. It took a lot of inner work but it’s been so worth it.

not to take things too personally … I’ve learned that people’s responses to me and what they may say, says more about *them* and *their life experiences and internal voices* than it says about me. Likewise, *my* negative responses to people say more about *me* than it does about them, so now it leads to self-reflection vs judgment and criticism

Choosing life
It sounds much more sensational than it really is. It has been repeated moments where I chose life and it significantly altered my course. Starting when I was 12 and tried to commit suicide, then changed my mind and called medical services on myself, choosing life, when I was 14, 18, 20, and 21 and carried pregnancies to term, choosing life, when I was 24 and got clean and sober, choosing life. When I was 48 and left a 25-year marriage to a man diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, choosing life. Now it has a new meaning to me, I am choosing to live life for me, not my parents, not a man, not my kids, not my friends, but me.

I got myself a coach. We are working on mental health, strengthening my body, finding balance, and phasing forward. It takes time and is expensive (or a lot of money, it’s not the same) but it is so great. A holistic approach to development.
