Could one decision change your life? Could that decision save your life? It did for me, and my life became an amazing adventure that I am so grateful for. That gratitude is what drove me to want to documentthe decision and the path from that moment forward.

My decision was to not end it, but to fully commit to trying at life. I’ve learned great lessons along the way that continued to enhance my life.

I hope that the stories and concepts I tell in this book will help anyone who makes a similar commitment to living and not just being alive. Taking control of your life.

Dealing with depression before it takes you down. Accepting your past.

Learning how to evolve and become the best “you”. Getting more out of life.

Not letting time just go by. Yes, taking control of your life.

I was an average guy struggling my way through an average life. No major “life hurdles” and no easy “silver spoon” gifts in life.

At some point you need to be headed somewhere. I was not.

Nowhere was pulling me in day by day. This is a story about someone headed towards a split in the road.

Life seems to shift between positive and negative, but sometimes the swing between gets stuck. For me, depression was covering me more and more in all aspects of life.

The positive/negative split became wider and more serious and critical as I lost control. Or maybe I just didn’t want to fight it anymore.

I was no longer caring. I hid it as best I could, but internally, it owned me.

Life’s consequences became more crucial, darker, and riskier as the drugs, drinking and drifting in life became a path going nowhere. Talking to someone would have helped, but I was too proud.

There was no solution in my mind. Becoming detached and no longer caring was growing every day.

The future, faith, family, friends, and then all of this applied to the unknown future, it was headed towards a key point in time. That key moment was my decision to end my life.

That moment came, I was ready, I was alone, and was a split second from the end. But for a varied mix of reasons, it did not end.

Somehow, the decision was to stop and “try” at life…. or maybe, I just passed out from the drinking and drugs? Either way, the next morning, i told myself that I was going to try at life, 100%, to fully commit to whatever came next in life, to strive to never fail again, and to believe in myself.

The decision!This decision, this very one single decision and the conviction to fully commit was what changed my future. With extreme gratitude, I wanted to share that decision, the reasons, the changes, the process, the common sense, the review, the lessons, and the great potential outcome.

It is all there for us if we choose to seek the best future. Change and evolution is available to all who are willing to commit and try.

Stop waiting for your life to begin. Make a decision to grow and go forward!.
