One Decision

I'm a big believer in the power of one decision. You are only one decision away from a totally different life.

I think we get overwhelmed by the thought of making massive changes so we don't make any! But you don't have to make big changes. You need to make small changes and then consistently follow through on them.

Here's one decision that will revolutionize your spiritual life: read the Bible daily.
Here's one decision that will revolutionize your health: go to the gym 3x/week.
Here's one decision that will revolutionize your mind: read one book a month.

What one decision would revolutionize your body, spirit or mind?
