People often ask about the best decision, but we think it’s also very enlightening to learn about people’s most difficult decisions and the frameworks they used to think through those decisions.

Cindy Lee | Game Artist & Illustrator

The most difficult decision I’ve had to make was not continuing down the path of industrial design. I had already spent 4 years studying in that field and I made the decision to pursue my dream of working in movies and games.

The most difficult decision I have ever made is to start a career in my forties. It has been the best decision ever.

Alexis Forteza | Author & Mentor

The most difficult decision I’ve had to make so far in my life was when I had to move away from my hometown. Dallas has now become my new home, which I love so much, but my roots are actually in Florida. I tell most people that I came to Dallas for work and a new environment, but that’s just the surface answer; The real reason I came to Dallas, besides God providing me a divine door of new opportunity, was to heal from my past. I believe people are the way they are because of the experiences they have gone through.
