The major shift and the great impact

Greetings!

One thing that's constant in life is change which to me must be embraced by all. A life without change is a life that will not progress. It's a life that would remain on a spot without anything to show for it.

However, for one to make a meaningful impact in life, there must be a change in such persons life.

Having said this, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about, “little changes, big impact.”

To start with, there's one thing that I have done and that has really changed my life and brought about a great impact on me and that's me shutting my mouth.

I could remember how in the past I used to talk about my plans to people not even minding who the person was, maybe a stranger or not. My own was just to talk to everyone about my plans.

However, what I realized was that, whenever I told my plans to people, then, that would be the end of the plans.

There's one I told a friend of mine, which was huge, but in the end, those who promised to help me with the project failed to help me. It was so pathetic and disheartening that such a huge plan of mine came to an abrupt end just because I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

Furthermore, in all these, I could not even realize where my issues were coming from, but one thing is that, the project would not just progress whenever the ear of another person heard about the plans.

However, on a particular day, after I had my personal retreat and discovered that all was not well and that all that's happening to me was because I could not keep my mouth shut on my plans, I decided to take a bold step and stopped the urge of always telling people about my plans.

Although it's one of the toughest decisions for me to make, I made the decision and whenever I'm moved to tell my plans to people, I quickly stop myself.

I started this and within a few months, things began to change from what it used to be to being better. I was so amazed that things could just turn around for me for good as it has turned.

It's during this time that I was able to make a big impact in my life, I couldn't believe myself making it big in my business and this was as a result of me keeping my mouth shut.

Although people that I used to discuss my issue with were not so happy about my new way of life, in my mind, I was like, I don't have anything to explain to anyone and thank God I took the bold step which eventually changed my life and helped me to make a big impact in life.

Thanks for reading.
