Too often we make decisions without thinking if they will have a positive impact on our lives.

We need to be able to align our decisions with our truth. That means not just choosing what we think is a good decision but what we think is a great decision.

Ask yourself the question of what good versus great is in your life, and bravely say no to the good to pursue the great.
