The Choice that Made You

This Week’s Writing Prompt

Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.

– John Maxwell from “Talent Is Never Enough”

Think of a choice you made in your life that defined you.

• • • • What was this choice?
      • At the time, did you consider it a positive or a negative choice?
      • What were the effects of this choice?
      • Would you make the same choice today?

Write a vignette illustrating where you are in your life today as a result of your choice, and then flashback to the moment when you made this critical decision. Demonstrate any struggle you had to decide and show what happened as a result.
