Most of us think big life shifts come from big decisions. But often it’s something small.
For me, it was accepting a last-minute invite from my friends to go to a party.
There I met my wonderful wife, we are now together for almost 16 years.
It made me wonder:
How many other tiny decisions had huge ripple effects?So now I try to treat even small choices with a bit more curiosity.
Do you have one of these moments? A tiny “yes” or “no” that ended up being way more important than you expected?
Mine is almost exactly the same as yours. I was invited to a party, but was feeling kinda homebodyish and thought I might skip it and stay home instead. I met my wife there.
That is so nice! Even small ventures into the world can change our lifes forever!
Saying No more often!
I know exactly what you mean. I also said yes too often even if I was tired or not in the mood. People tend to exploit good intentions if we don´t draw a line to our generosity.
For me it was to leave the country, at the time I was not really bad, I had a job and a place to live. However, I felt that I only worked to cover these two aspects and nothing else.
I did not make great plans or any really elaborate preparation. Simply one day I woke up and said: "I have to leave, if I stay here my only option to get my home, it will be waiting for my mother to die to inherit yours."
That little thought 💭 I change everything, I left the country, I started later my own family and most importantly. I met and found Bitcoin during that trip that has lasted approximately almost 10 years since that day.
Wow, it have been hard to leave the country and start a new life. Kudos for making that decision!
Saying “yes” to helping a friend move. I almost skipped it because I was tired, but that day I met someone who introduced me to the field I now work in—and love. Funny how a simple favor turned into a career shift I never planned. Life really does pivot on tiny hinges sometimes.
Great story! I really believe that when you do good things for others it will bring good things to yourself.
