Make Life-Changing Decisions

Sometimes the smallest most insignificant decisions can lead to the biggest impact. After all, we make decisions all day, "Will I go for a run or sleep another 30 minutes? Do I want to make dinner or order in? Take the new job or stay put?" But sometimes, those tiny, seemingly unimportant decisions can also shape the course of our lives. Do you take the time to reflect? Can you see the moments when the small decisions created the big change? Do you accept the moments when the world slipped off its axis and life just changed? Can we learn to recognize these small moments that had the big impact and are we able to see the lesson in the change?

Kristina Wandzilak is the founder and president of Full Circle intervention and sober-living communities, and has been a leader in the addictions industry since 1995. She is a mother, an author, a television personality, and interventionist. She is also a former addict who ended up homeless on the streets of San Francisco — willing to do anything to survive. But the game-changing decision that would alter the course of her life was at the age of 15, when she had a crush on a boy who drove a VW bus.
