You only have to make ONE decision." That is the advice17-year-old Austen, gave his little sister Olivia, as she was about to enter high school. "You make one decision to be the kind of person you choose to be. Then, when you are presented with situations or temptations, you've already decided what to do. You will quickly let others know that you aren't going to drink, do drugs, "fool around", etc. because none of these activities reflect who you want to be. Make ONE decision and all the others fall into place."
There is tremendous wisdom and power in these words. ONE decision—that's all any of us really needs to make. Who do we choose to be?
