And most of us are sleepwalking through those decisions.
Every day, we make thousands of small choices. What to eat. What to say. Whether to scroll or speak up. To sit with the discomfort or numb it. None of them feel life-changing. But together? They form the spine of
your story. Your life is not the result of five big forks in the road. It’s the result of the 50 small turns you took before you even got there.
That’s the trap.
We tell ourselves we’ll change our lives with some massive, cinematic gesture. But change rarely arrives like thunder. It comes in whispers.
In the quiet “yes” to getting up
earlier.
The decision to not check your phone during dinner.
That extra rep in the gym no one saw but you.
The breath you take before you clap back at someone who hurt you.
That’s the decision shaping your trajectory.
When I
was younger, I had a fantasy that success was a single, monumental moment. One breakthrough. But when I look back—on every novel I’ve written, every obstacle I’ve overcome, every transformation I’ve earned—it always started with a tiny move. A shift in momentum. A better decision is made consistently. That’s the secret no one glamorises.
You don’t need to change your whole life today. You just need to make one better choice…
right now.
Because the truth is this: you’re not stuck because your dreams are too big. You’re stuck because your next move is too small to notice. And you’re not making it on purpose.
That’s the danger of autopilot.
You can’t rewrite your story if the same old script keeps running in the background. If you don’t choose your “next step,” your
conditioning will. And your conditioning was never designed with your highest self in mind. It was designed for survival. Not greatness. Not joy.
So, what does this mean in real life?
It means the difference between feeling stuck and feeling powerful isn’t always about changing jobs, cities, or partners. It’s about changing your default. Interrupting your loop. If you want different
results, you don’t need a different destiny. You need a different rhythm.
I started writing because of one decision. I kept writing because I kept choosing.
What’s the one small thing you can do today that proves to yourself that you’re not sleepwalking through your story?
Do it.
That’s how you build a future worth living in.
That’s how you become a version, your younger self dreamed was possible. You don’t get there all at once. You get there with a single, conscious choice. Repeated.
So don’t ask what your big moment will be.
Ask: What will I do next?
Then do
it like your life depends on it.
Because, in some quiet, cosmic way—it does.
Peace, love and power.
