You’ve probably heard the saying, “Decisions, decisions”! We make many decisions on a daily basis. Some of our decisions seem trivial, what am I going to have for breakfast?, and some are major, should I take the new job and move my family to a new state?
In this episode Chris talks about how decisions are sometimes not just A or B but often one decision can turn into a complex “tree” of other decisions that follow. He also points out how although some decisions seem small the small decisions add up. In fact, where you are in life today likely is a result of small decisions you’ve made along the path of life.

I did the Mind Tools quiz. It’s a good tool for those who are working or have a family. For me it wasn’t that useful. I base my decisions on if I can afford it. Usually I talk myself out of spending money because I have so little of it left. For example, I want to take a river cruise in Europe. If I do this exciting, marvelous adventure then I am so much closer to living in my car then I want to be. So therefore I realize that I can’t enjoy the one thing I looked forward to in retirement. So this quiz was not for me.
