Why This Recipe works
All our lives are a series chain reactions. Think about how you met your best friend. If you hadn’t gone to that one event you didn’t want to go to, you wouldn’t have met the friend that introduced you to your best friend…
Every moment is a decision to make. You can choose to go home and tell your spouse about your day or bottle it up your stress. You can choose to start the morning with “I love you” or complain about the sun in your eyes. Remember, you are always one step away from a completely different life.
Your turn! Just this week, record the sliding door moments and see what patterns arise!
