The Choice That’s Holding You Back

Life is shaped by choices. Staying stuck is a decision, but small, courageous steps spark momentum toward growth, purpose, and your best self.

You will never be offered success on a silver platter—you’ll be offered choices. 

But what you’re not changing, you’re choosing. 

Every time you stick with that unfulfilling job, ignore your health, or settle for relationships that drain you, you’re making a decision.

Staying stuck is still a choice.

Change is hard. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and often terrifying. 

But staying the same is a slow erosion of your potential, your purpose, and your joy.

 So, ask yourself—what are you tolerating right now that you know needs to change? 

Change begins when you decide that staying the same is no longer an option.

Take your health, for example. If you’re not happy with where you are, the power to transform is in your hands.

No, you don’t need to train like an Olympian tomorrow. Instead, start small today.

Tiny changes compound over time. Before you know it, you’ll be staring into the mirror, seeing the person you always knew you could be... or at least a better version than you were last week, month, or year.

Stop watching things pass you by and start living the life God prepared you for. 

Every bold move you make today is a seed planted for the future you’ll thank yourself for.

Here’s the challenge: take one step today.

Sign up for that class.

Send that email.

Have that complicated conversation. 

Small, courageous actions will break the negative inertia and spark momentum.

Because in the end, life isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving, growing, and becoming the person God created you to be. 

You’re not a victim of circumstance; you’re a vessel for change
