    Over the course of our lives we make millions of little decisions which when combined dictate the direction your life will take.

    My question is:

    what decision that you have made has had the most profound effect on your life?

    whether the effect of this decision was good or bad, i think its an intersting topic.

    hmm... so far its probably been the decision to over look a perticular course that would have suited me when I was doing my LC (which was a PLC so wasnt points based). I didnt get the points I wanted, and when I applied for the 2nd round of interviews for the said course it was full. This meant I had to take the year off (which I didnt really want to) and get a job.
    At the time I felt like it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me, now I look back and see that I got a good job, made some great friends and started the course a year later and was surrounded by some truely great people. Had I gotten in first time around I doubt I would have enjoyed myself half as much as the class just didnt seem like my kind of people. I grew up a lot in the year off, learned a lot and did a lot, God knows life could have been so amazingly different had I not made what seemed like a stupid mistake!!

    Perhaps quitting my job in a paranoia induced hissy fit?

    emm, is always a bit of a battle to find/search out a decision that has made a profound effect. for me it has to have ben making a move into the family business i am in now woth my dad and brother, took a big ass jump in pay and wont make that up for another few years at least but as regards having a life it is sooo well worth it, if this had not happened i would not have met certain other reps, would not have met the angel i now live with, etc etc.

    thats a real difficult one to answer as if you think about it every decision one takes in like affects all other post actions so would be true t say that all decisions are going to have profound impacts,

    its just those where you realise you have a time to choose and those are the times where one always has an idea of the outcome or believes one has the choice, eithre way a decision is made on the most informed/emotional sense and life goes on, the end result is speculating as to what may have happened through another or opposite/alternate decision.

    its all good so please enjoy it
