I read a post by Steve about decision making and essentially the gist that I'm getting is just to make a decision no matter what it is, and just be happy about it. Don't constantly question it. It doesn't really matter what the decision is. Learn to be comfortable and see the positive in any situation.

Does that make sense?
First and foremost, I don’t see how you can make a decision based on “feeling good.” To me, it would simply be an element that would complicate matters and cloud the judgment…

Now, if I had to make an extremely important decision I would seek counsel from some nice retired lawyer, judge or CPA (chartered public accountant.)

These people spent their lives weighing the pros and cons of arguments… they have the knack of seeing the essential of a proposition and evaluating what the essential elements are…

Now, you may be a little surprised with this approach… but, I have used it… and it worked wonders for me…

And, if you wonder how to do it… well, just grab the phone and call one of those guys… you will be amazed as to how receptive (and flattered) they will be… and how enlightened the response will be…
