For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. ~Ephesians 2:10 

It is amazing to me how God can use one decision we make to change everything! If we are honest, we often don’t know what we’re supposed to do or what decision we are supposed to make. For the first 18 years of my life, I made my own decisions. I was horrible at making decisions. My decisions led me to do things that I wish I would have never done.

When I was 18 I started pursuing God! That single decision changed everything! From that moment on, while my decision-making wasn’t perfect, the decisions I did make were ones I believe God was leading me to make. All of a sudden, every decision I made seemed to be taking me somewhere! I can point to tons of individual decisions that I made as a result of pursuing God and how those decisions changed my life forever.

As you may know, I am a huge fan of Beachbody. They are the company that are responsible for P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire, and so much more! As I started researching Beachbody, I fell in love with their company! I started following as many of their staff as I could! That is how I found Chalene Johnson, creator of Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam!

When I start following Chalene on Twitter, I really liked what she had to say. She shared a lot about motivation, productivity, marketing, branding, leadership, and more. Over time, I became a huge fan of Chalene.

No one who achieves success does so without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.  ~Alfred North Whitehead

You are the result of a lot of people influencing your life for better or worse. We can all look back on our lives and remember the people who made a difference in our lives. Maybe it was a parent, an aunt or an uncle, a grandparent, a teacher, a coach, a friend, a pastor, or a business man or woman. Perhaps it was a book we read, a sermon we listened to, or a talk at a conference we went to.

My question to you is: Do the people who have made a difference in your life know that they made a difference in your life?
