When we reflect on our lives, we often wonder how we ended up where we are today.

Could one decision we made have led us down a different path? The truth is, a series of small
wrong decisions can drastically alter the trajectory of our lives. It's easy to overlook the impact
of small choices, but they add up over time.

It all starts with the seemingly insignificant choices we make every day. Hitting snooze
on the alarm clock instead of getting up early to exercise. Skipping breakfast because your
running late for school or work. Choosing to have fast food for lunch instead of packing a
healthier meal. Binge-watching Netflix instead of studying for an important test or exam. All of
these choices may seem small at the moment, but they can accumulate over time, affecting our
physical and mental health, productivity, and success and everything around us.

One wrong decision can lead to a chain reaction of negative consequences. For example,
if we skip exercise in the morning, we may feel unaccomplished and unmotivated for the rest of
the day. This may lead to poor performance at work or school, which can also lead to missed
opportunities. We could become more prone to stress and anxiety, which can have a larger effect
on our relationships with people and our overall well-being.

However, it's important to remember that life is very unpredictable, and every decision
we make has the potential to change the trajectory of our life. While some wrong choices can
lead to negative outcomes, others can lead to positive ones. Making mistakes and learning from
them is definitely a crucial part of personal growth and development. It's when we repeat the
same mistakes without noticing that our trajectory can become the most negatively impacted.

In the book that I chose the main character felt guilty, and she also made a decision that
ended up costing her. She lost her rights, she lost her daughter, and her best friend. She regrets it
all but now there is nothing she can do but try and find her daughter and reconnect with her.

Ultimately, it's up to her to make the best choices she can with the information and about
her daughter. She needs to take ownership for her decisions and mistakes, and be mindful of the
potential consequences not just for the family that has her daughter but for everyone else around
her. And if she does end up finding her daughter she needs to make positive choices.

In conclusion, any small wrong decision can indeed change the trajectory of our lives.
However, it's important not to fixate on the past or the small failures that happen along the way,
but instead to learn from those mistakes and intentionally make better choices moving forward.
The choices we make every day may seem small, but they have the potential to shape the course
of our lives, for better or for worse. So choose wisely, my friends.
