How do u deal with making life altering decisions?

[project.one]

There is no right or wrong when it comes to deciding your future path. If there was an answer sheet to life then maybe. But you need to decide what you think you should do. The only way you will know what will happen is if you do it. You live and you learn.


Everyone can say what they would do, but everyone is different. Some people enjoy living a relaxing safe life. While others thrive on doing things that lead them to places they do know.
Either way, no one can choose your path for you. Even any of our adivce can only give you insight to how others have chosen to go.

Whatever you decide, just make sure its what YOU want and it is what will make YOU happy.

You just said it yourself there Maggie; It's your happiness. You being happy is not selfish. Anyone who tells you otherwise is the one being selfish.

Also, the only wrong decision you'll make is the one you'll regret. I've had way too many of those already.

I'm kind of at a crossroads myself right now. I've got one job right now that makes decent money, has good hours, and still leaves time to party. It pissed me off at times, but that's life. There's another job that's going to be coming up pretty quick, that'll pay better, a very socialable job, and very flexible hours. Only problem is, it's a job that'll probably make me an alcoholic, since it woudl be my job to be out and about all the time. But you know what, I'm probably going to chase the money, because I know this could be that one big chance to make some big money, and I'd regret it for sure if I don't take it.

Plain and simply, do what makes you happy, and don't live life with regrets.

edit: for kraig

thats the response that true friends give.. and have been giving me until this point, so it makes sense that the three of u are on the same page.

It's easy to become complacent with what is comfortable.

Change is a scary thing, until it happens, then you'll be glad it did.

The most important decisions in life are the hardest to make.

^I let myra make all my tough decisions for me.

I'd have to say as well, do what makes you happy. But aside from that I do look at the overall picture. Where I currently stand and how it would change. If it's reasonable to achieve what I want to do, I will go for it. If to many odds are against me I use common sense and wait a bit or find a different path.
