You make a decision in an instant.

0:02.7

And if you make that decision today, then where are you going to be in a month or three months from now or the end of this year?

0:10.3

Like, where will you be at when you make that decision today?

So a few birthdays ago, I got a present from my mom and dad and it was a flying lesson.

0:25.4

I've always been really intrigued by flying.

0:28.1

I think it's really cool, especially like female pilots.

0:30.6

There's just something so cool about it.

0:32.9

So I booked in this lesson and I was equally excited and terrified at the same time by the prospect

0:40.7

of actually attempting to fly a plane. So I arrived in my lesson and the guy took me out to the

0:45.4

field and there was all these like tiny tiny little planes out there. So he took me over to this

0:51.0

plane and it to be honest looked like is the most bricotty old,

0:55.2

this oldest little thing ever and I was like, oh my God, we're actually getting in this.

1:56.1

doing and so I did what he had told me previously to do. I tipped the, the, pulled the steering thing,

and the plane corrected itself. And I got home and Kellynne my husband said to me, how was the

2:09.6

flying lesson? I was like, oh my gosh, it was the best personal development lesson in the world.

2:14.1

And I told him this story and about how he said, Carrie, don't let the plane mess you around.
