everyday, we ought to makes decisions which will end up changing our lives in the future... some of these decisions - the major major ones - form what we will be. in making decisions i know we have to seek for the correct answer within ourselves. firstly because the ultimate benefactor of the choice would be us. but sometimes, i seek several advices from people i trust and look up to for consultations. although most of the time, seeking for different opinions just make me more confused. ^_^ How about you? how do you take it on? how much time do you need to finalize your decisions?

Going ahead is the best way when you get confused. Nobody can get the best answer before the result appears. I prefer regretting for having done to for not having done.

First, i try to find out if the decision to be made is really life changing. There are a lot of situation when you think it's big but only ends up being a bluff. You should also consider all the factors that can affect your life when you choose that certain decision. You can't just choose a decision in a snap. There are could be a lot that can change if ever that decision is indeed life changing.

Hello. I am at the throes of a life change and need to know what to do with my life when that time comes. I have made my decision but it is quite a while away yet it might still change. It would depend on the circumstances when the time comes. But in coming up with my decision, I try to look inside my self and ask myself what it is I really want, my capabilities, my skills and the talents I possess. What will the decision bring me? I try to project myself into the situation. Friends often pitch in with suggestions. I listen but does not necessarily mean I will follow these suggestions. Sometimes, suggestions from friends give you insights. We can choose whether to take them or reject them...I mean the suggestions they give.

I believe in the power of prayer and so I always seek God's help as I know He hears all prayers. Then I take some paper and start wring some pros and cons in deciding which way to go. I also do research on what I am deciding on. Example: I read what others have to say about a certain car who have that kind of car.

i need some time to think about all the problems and i will make a few decision to handle it. i used to think it in the middle of the night. where the situation is very silent and quiet. i can have clear thinking when i do that. and the last thing i did was i pray so my decision is the right one.

In making decisions, I always think of good and bad. I thought about it carefully so that I have no regrets. How long do I make a decision, depending on the weight of the decisions I took. The important thing for me, not mistake, in making decisions.

Everyday i do accept your view we take routine decisions which don't have a major effect on us.But at moments we have to take life changing decisions for our family and ourselves.I consult my family and friends who are knowledgeable before taking such important decisions.More people putting their heads together will result in a better decision on important matters.There may be perspectives i haven't considered which others alert us to.

after weighing the pros and cons of a decision that I have to make, and I believe that arriving at that decision will be for the good, I'll decide on it. But like you, I seek the opinion of my loved ones and look into consideration what might be the outcome.
