The choice that changes everything (4 Aug 25)

# The Choice That Changes Everything

Standing at the crossroads of a major life decision, my friend Sarah felt paralyzed.

Stay in the secure job that was slowly draining her soul, or leap into starting her own practice?

The pros and cons lists were endless. Her mind was spinning with "what-ifs."

Then she asked herself: "What choice would I make if I trusted myself completely?"

The answer came immediately. Not from logic, but from a deeper knowing beneath all the mental noise.

Here's what I've learned about making meaningful choices:

*The best decisions aren't made in our heads—they're felt in our bodies.* That subtle expansion when we think about the right path. The contraction when something doesn't align.

*We often know the answer before we think we do.* The endless analyzing isn't about finding clarity—it's about gathering courage to act on what we already sense.

Sarah made the leap six months ago and is thriving. Not because the path was easy, but because it was authentically hers.

*Simple practice for your next big decision:*

Sit quietly. Imagine Choice A—notice how your body feels. Then imagine Choice B. Your body often knows before your mind catches up.

The goal isn't avoiding wrong turns—it's making choices true to who you're becoming, not just who you've been.

What's one choice you've been avoiding that might be waiting for your courage to catch up with your knowing?

I genuinely want to hear how you navigate these crossroads moments. What whispers of wisdom do you listen for when logic isn't enough? Please share your thoughts below, or send me a message if it feels too personal for comments. I find these conversations about life's big decisions always reveal something profound—both for the person sharing and the one listening.
