    Decisions Determine Destiny? Follow your Path

    Decisions Determine Destiny? Follow your Path

    I was having a great conversation with a former Green Beret in one of my podcasts. In that, he asked me about my story, my journey when I decided to get sober.
    Watch FULL YOUTUBE INTERVIEW HERE
    His question to me was if I went down the 12 step AA program.

    Answer to that was: I went in there for 18 days of a 12-week program.
    Now, did I continue in my sobriety without continuing in the program? Or did I fall off the wagon and fall back from being sober to go back to my drinking and gambling?
    And, in your journey if you’ve ever decided to go on a different path, do you need to get involved in AA program? Do you have to go through a 12-step plan?
    In this episode you will take away many promising lessons as below:
    -Do you need a 12-step program to reach your business or life goals?
    -Why and what do you have to talk and remind yourself when you do not know the distance you need to travel in business or life

    -The idea of the ‘Path’ of your own variables
    Inspirational quotes from the episode:
    -You're not necessarily going in the wrong direction; you just might not have travelled enough distance yet
    -Your variables and your journey and who you're maybe qualifying yourself against might not be the best calculation for you
    -Every path can look a lot different but if we determine where we want to go, can end up to that place of gratitude or peace or satisfaction
