life choices
Big path selections
Life choices are the significant decisions that shape the course of one's existence—career, relationships, where to live, whether to have children.
The phrase often appears in contexts of judgment or reflection: She's made some questionable life choices.
It can be sincere or sarcastic, acknowledging that small decisions accumulate into the life you're living.
