The easy yet very impactful decision in my life was when I stopped watching television eight years ago.
It’s amazing how big of a quiet, pleasant space opens up in your head when you’re not watching the news, daily soaps, reality television shows, and of course, the one hour of commercials the average person watches every day.
That’s 365 hours a year of free time, it's almost as if you lived 15 days more in a year.
It’s given me time to read dozens of books, take up trekking as a hobby, start a successful business of logistics, and focusing me being me.
How about you?
What's one easy descision that impacted your life positively?

The year 2011 was the year when I discovered Bitcoin. Thirteen years later I am still holding the Bitcoin that I have gotten from the Bitcoin faucets during that time. This impacted my life in a very positive way. It is worth more than I will ever know and has a potential to increase it's value in time. Of course it takes a lot of patience to get to this level but Bitcoin truly changed my life forever.

What is easy and not easy ? I believe the concept is not really appropriate as it depends on:
  • how (innate, have a weathly life...)
  • where (regarding the country vs city vs village vs nature...),
  • when (your age, the year..)
  • what (learn something new, change a habit...) -and why ( health, familly reasons....)

This made me think, great!
As for "easy" decisions that impact anything positively I think there are very few, the right decision has always been complex and hard, and whenever I cut corners in any way it has led to negative stuff...
There are of course moments in time that led to enormous change, where I just YOLO-ed it. Those moments always arose from intuition and gut feeling, so they are not really the same as a rational decision.
That being said I am certain that those had a lot of subconscious, very complex decisions and facts that were invisible at the moment. Often I can see in retrospect what these were, in some cases decades later :-)

Until today I have had to make several decisions. Some easier than others. But when I think about and weigh each one, without a doubt my easiest and most impactful decision has been to be in the 4th edition of My First Bitcoin in Cuba.
Maybe many of you have been with Bitcoin for a while, but I confess that I was afraid of it. But after this edition of MFB, everything is like new, hopeful, different, I have a different attitude because Bitcoin is not just Bitcoin, it is more than that and with this edition made by a team of tireless fighters who only deserve all the good that happens to them, everything has been so clear, other friends who although they were not instructors in the course have given us good advice and have helped us a lot and for that I want to thank them.
And for the icing on the cake SN, it couldn't be better. I entered and fell in love. Thanks team.

The easiest and most difficult decision of my life was when I decided to emigrate from my country Venezuela to Peru to seek a better future and escape one of the biggest economic crises at that time.

It is impossible for you not to watch television. Surely when you travel, there may be some people who turn on the television outside the house, surely we will also see the television.
while reading is a hobby, or interest in reading is at its peak.
