One Good Decision

When I was eighteen, I met her and decided to spend the rest of my life with her. That’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

When she was pregnant with our first child, I decided to switch careers against all odds. That’s the second-best decision I’ve ever made.

Leaving my job to bet on myself, I hope, will be the third.

But looking back, the best decision was far more impactful than the second-best. Not even close.

I’ve made many bad decisions in my life. Some took me a long time to recover from. But I made one good decision as an immature, idealistic teenager.

And that one good decision has been enough.
