making big decisions

[Kodo]

how do you tend to find answers for or come to make difficult decisions?

recently i was faced with making a big decision that would change my life. i've been reflecting on the way i'm reacting to life's content right now and the process i am going through.

in the past 2 weeks my life got turned upside down as i knew it. out of the blue i got a good full time job offer in california, where life is good, but i'm halfway through a degree at school in michigan, where the economy sucks. i had a really good feeling about taking the opportunity, but i still have opportunities where i am. the opportunity isn't right yet, so i decided to finish the school semester, save up $, and move in a couple months.

i tend to ask for the opinion of many people in different situations. on one hand, its almost useless because everybody has an opinion from their own experience, but only i can decide what i experience. on the good side, it helps to see things from everyone's perspective. seeing things from all angles lets me play it strategically.

you could ask a trusted few? only ask yourself? roll the dice? flip a coin? crystal ball?

Don't think I would ever trust a big decision to chance (roll dice, flip coin, crystal ball, etc). Financially, I made the biggest decision of my life just last night when I bought my first car. It seems very difficult to be 100% satisfied when it comes to spending so much, I've found. Just takes time I suppose.

This decision had been topic of discussion among my parents and myself for several weeks now, but my dad told me that this was ultimately for me, and me alone to decide.

Conclusion, don't let others make decisions for you, but listen to their input as it can help shape your decision into a well rounded one.
