3 Decisions That Will Change Your Life

August 25, 2025

For a long time, I believed growth was automatic. If I just kept grinding, time would carry me forward.

But time doesn’t guarantee transformation. Decisions do.

I learned that the hard way. I walked away from deals that looked perfect on paper but felt wrong in my soul. I lost money. I lost relationships. And I lost the version of myself who thought “hard work alone” was enough.

In those moments, I questioned everything. Was I crazy for saying no when everyone else would’ve said yes? Was I throwing away an opportunity, or was I protecting something deeper?

Looking back, those decisions shaped me more than any success ever could. They cleared space for what I actually wanted to build. They taught me that growth isn’t passive. It doesn’t knock politely at your door. Growth demands choices, bold ones, scary ones, uncomfortable ones.

Here are three decisions that changed my life and can change yours too:

1. Subtract before you add.
Sometimes growth looks like letting go. I thought walking away meant failure. But subtraction is what makes room for the right people, the right work, the right future. Ask yourself: What am I holding onto that’s suffocating my potential?

2. Lean into discomfort.
Every breakthrough I’ve had came with a knot in my stomach. The speech I wasn’t ready to give. The risks I didn’t feel prepared for. The rooms I felt unworthy to step into. Growth lives in those spaces you’d rather avoid. This week, step into one of them.

3. Stack small wins.
Transformation doesn’t arrive all at once. It’s built in the shadows—when no one’s watching, when the step feels too small to matter. A page written. A mile run. A call made. Stack enough of those, and the momentum will change your life.

Growth isn’t an accident. It’s courage over comfort. Subtraction over distraction. Action over waiting.

So here’s my challenge for you:

Let something go.
Do the thing that scares you.
Stack one win every day.

Because when you do, you won’t just change your days, you’ll change who you are.
