That One Moment
All of us can point to moments in our lives where a certain decision or circumstance changed the path of our journey of life forever. I've written about these moments throughout multiple blog posts (which you can conveniently search at anytime you want).
But does being aware while it is taking place affect how significant that point in your life may be in the long run? Maybe, maybe not. But the cognizant thought of an event that can possibly alter your entire life could scare off some people from ever taking action; over-thinking is a common issue (e.g. can lead to the fear of the unknown). And I don't think that those who do take action really anticipate everything that will happen (no one can). Life and all its entropy will catch most of us by surprise.
