Before you make a life-changing decision, position your mind first.
Not your bank account.
Not people’s opinions.
Not even perfect timing.
Your mind.
Because certain decisions will shake your world.
Starting a business.
Changing careers.
Moving to a new country or city.
Getting married.
Leaving a relationship.
Having a child.
Going back to school.
Choosing healing and therapy.
Walking away from comfort.
Saying yes to a calling that scares you.
These decisions come with surprises you didn’t plan for, pain you didn’t anticipate, and changes you didn’t fully understand when you said Yes.
So prepare your mind.
To accept the unexpected.
To absorb disappointment without breaking.
To endure discomfort without quitting.
To accommodate growth, even when growth feels like loss.
Big decisions will stretch your routine, your identity, your relationships, and your confidence. If your mind isn’t aligned, every obstacle will look like a warning sign. But if your mind is positioned, every obstacle becomes preparation.
When your mind aligns with your decision, everything else begins to align with it.
And even when it’s tough, because it will be, you won’t be defeated by it. Your mind has already gone ahead of you. It has prepared you for the pressure. It has accepted the process.
The victory starts internally.
Position your mind first.
Then step forward.
