Have you ever wondered why you're living the life you're currently living? Maybe someone in the heavens gave you a second class ticket and said “Here, this is the life I'm giving you on earth”? Or maybe there's more to life than a predesignated destiny?
In this post I want to share how your life has not happened by chance and how you can create the life of your dreams by harnessing this secret power.
“It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
– Tony Robbins
When I first got on the path of personal development in 2011, I quickly started to learn that it's the decisions one makes that are the cause of their life. Up until then I had never understood the concept of making decisions to change one's life. My only understanding before then was that decisions were how I chose the clothes I wear, the food I eat, the movies I watch and so on.
Getting a new perspective on decisions made me realise that, yes, in fact my life is the result of all the decisions I've made. In 2011, I was living with my parents at age 26 and I hated it, I was working a job I didn't enjoy, I was in $50,000+ debt, and all I looked forward to was hanging out with my friends and partying on the weekends
What I ended up learning was that all the decisions I had previously made got me to a place where I felt stuck and going nowhere. I'd made the decisions of getting into debt, buying a new car I couldn't afford, staying in a job I didn't enjoy, not deciding to move out of my parents' home, and choosing friends that would influence me to take a destructive path. I realised that if I had made different decisions, I would be in a different place.
When I'd had enough of the lifestyle I was living and realised that I wanted so much more in life, I started making some drastic decisions. Firstly, I started focusing heavily on my personal development, I sold my new car to start a business, I let go of friends that were influencing me negatively and I got to work on creating the life of my dreams.
I'm happy to say that today, 4 years later, I'm married to my beautiful wife Dacia and we have a gorgeous little girl, Ivanka. We've travelled the world as a family, made some amazing money in our online business and today I get to be a stay-at-home dad. I know for a fact that if I hadn't started to make new decisions, I'd still be living the same unfulfilling lifestyle I was living 4 years ago.
So how can you change your current situation? Start making new decisions!
One of my favourite quotes by Albert Einstein is: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Isn't that what most people do? They get up every morning, go to a job they don't like to make less money than they're worth so they can pay bills that accumulate to more than their weekly pay check and still hope that their wages are going to increase some day? I mean, come on, the writing is on the wall! You can keep making the same decisions you're making now and in 5-10 years time still be in the exact same position or you can start making new decisions today and in 5-10 years time be living the life of your dreams. Which route do you prefer?
Also, making decisions doesn't just apply to finances either. It applies to any area of your life where you want a change. Have you got a desire to lose weight? Then start making new decisions in respect to your diet and fitness! Do you want to find the lover of your dreams? Then start focusing on your personal development; because when you become the person you're looking for, you'll attract the perfect person into your life.

Alex, I just keep on thinking what priveledge you’ve had to change your life around at such a young age. Desicions we make are lifechanging at any stage, some people never even realize it. Enjoy your ‘at home’ lifestyle priveledge.
I’m so grateful that I was able to find a more empowering path quite young too, Annalize. I see so many people that reach the end of their life and they’re not happy with what they’ve done, where they’ve been or what they have. I want SO MUCH MORE and therefore make decisions that will help me in creating a more amazing life!
Thanks for your lovely comment 🙂
Interesting that you write this post Alex. I have been on a personal development journey for several years which started following the death of my long-term partner and meeting my current spouse. I know that thoughts and beliefs create our life, and we can adjust those thoughts and beliefs as needed as long as we have awareness that they need to be changed. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I realized that choices / decisions are what really hone our lives, based on thoughts and beliefs. So we have to be aware of both, but the decisions and choices are what lead to immediate life style. Thanks for the post.
Wow, thanks for sharing that personal story Carol. Things always happen for a reason, don’t they!
You’re absolutely right… if you want to change your life, make better decisions.
Thanks for the comment 🙂
Wonderful post about your journey Alex. I agree, life is about the decisions we make and our decisions do determine the direction our life will take. I’m where you were four years ago and though it’s finally become clear in my mid-30’s I know it’s never too late to decide to make a change for the better and realize we deserve more. Thanks for sharing Alex.
Glad you enjoyed the post Kahnie! And you’re right… it’s never too late! Just get to work, hold onto your vision and you’ll get everything you want in due time 🙂
What a timely post as I go through “Decisions” in my program. I have been a very indecisive person in the past however learning now to Make a Decision and just back it up with the required action. Thanks for your share on this topic Alex.
Cheers, Sharon
Awesome stuff Sharon! Learning about Decisions is one of the best things you can do. You will be much more prepared to create some big and wonderful things in your life!
Thanks for commenting 🙂
Awesome post Alex! Everything starts with making the right decisions. That’s for sure!
Thanks Jelena! It sure does 🙂 But you won’t always make the right decision. Sometimes we just need to make a decision and then work towards making that the right decision!
Thank you for this awesome post Alex! I too am on a similar path and over the past year I’ve made some bad decisions that has put me and my family on a huge amount of debt. Thanks to personal development, my eyes are now open and I have learned so much from this experience that I know better what to do and not to do this time around.
Hey Noel! I was in exactly the same position as you once. Thankfully I was able to turn things around by making different decisions and following through on those decision.
I’m happy to know you’ve found your way 🙂 Keep going because from what I know of you, you have what it takes for success!
this is great info, all about making the decision and doing whatever it takes
You got it Sheena 🙂
