One memorable day...

I've been absorbed in Dicken's Great Expectations for the last few days (list #23) and this paragraph really jumped off the page and got me thinking...

"That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron, or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."




I've come to learn that often it's not the decisions we agonise through and turn over and over in our heads, but rather those we make in a split second that have the most impact on our future...

what chains have been built from your decisions?
