off-topic What’s a small decision you made that completely changed the course of your life?

Have you ever made a small decision that completely changed your life? If so, what was the decision?





Did someone encourage you to make this choice, or did you decide to do it on your own?

I started cycling to lose weight. I fell in love with it. It led me to hiking. Hiking led me to getting healthy and meeting my now wife.

Before I found cycling, I got drunk every night, smoked 2 packs a day, ate nothing but fast food, did no exercise, and weighed 350 pounds.

Now I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't eat fast food that much, I hike and bike a lot, and I'm around 200 pounds.

Had I continued doing, I doubt I would be alive now. I definitely wouldn't had survived COVID. I got the bad wave of COVID (before we even knew what it was) and it was crazy!

I haven't made much of a progress like that although I am doing my best to make changes whenever required
