Your life is like a wheel that you are rolling down a long road.
You have an idea of the direction and pace you want it to go. All of your decisions in life will do one of two things. They will push the wheel forward, giving it momentum and guiding it the way you want, or they will pull it back, slowing it down and altering it's course. Before making big decisions, ask yourself if the choice you're leaning towards will take your life where you want it to go.
