The Difference Between “Wanting” And “Deciding”

EP.631

Our recent trip to Italy is the perfect metaphor for wanting something versus deciding to do something. Lori and I break down the layers of decision that it took for us to actually follow through and take this vacation, plus something really valuable that we learned from our friends about deciding to have a good life. We think it’s important to put markers in your year and create memorable experiences for yourself, even if it’s something local. Listen in to hear our reflections about our time on the Amalfi Coast and how we’re committing to getting outside of our element at least once a week from now on.
