Answer 3

Answer 5

We all take decisions at every moment that can and do change out life in fantastic or destructive ways. If, on tuesday last wee I had decided to leave the house without checking my email, and then decided to turn right at a roundabout not go straight on... Id still have my Nissan. A set of choices there made by me, but also influenced by everything else, lead my car into the crash barrier.

We usually know when we are upon the "biggie" decisions, buying a home, leaving a partner, having kid's or not, tendering your resignation at work, trying homosexuality, confirming a faith... And when we do those things we spend a lot of time thinking about them.

You can't spend hours deliberating over which supermarkets to go to, it would be debilitationg, so we spend less time on things we see as unimportant.

Turning back is admitting failure, and admitting failure and learning from it is one of the very best ways of learing. We can go over the ground we covered again, and look at it from a fresh direction, you might discover that one of those tiny decisions was crucuial, or one of the major decisions flawed.

There are of course some decisions where you can't change your mind so easily, children for instance, once they're born, they're gonna be around, you cant send them back. so... HOW DO I DECIDE ?

Well, I ask my friends, I research things and I follow my heart too. I find that my partner, my familt and my friends have a wealth of experience, and thay can gie advice. You should always listen to thier advice, but remember you DON'T actually have to take it. The human is that rare animal the can learn from other peoples mistakes.

Sometimes I instinctivley know what is right, when it comes to relationships I have always been 100% up front with my crossdressing, I have to do it, it's part of who I am. Maybe I have missed out on some wonderfull people, but then, maybe not. I KNOW in my heart it's right for me to dress, and to be honest about it where it counts. My happyness is essential in a relationship too.

you learn follow your heart, you learn the difference between really wanting something, and actually needing it. Once you have that sorted, following you heart is easier. (not always plesant, but easier in the long run)

Thats part of my thoughts on the matter.

Yes, I'm at that point now after working for years in one field.  There are so many avenues.  If I choose one and don't like that, I can always choose another. As long as I enjoy what it is I'm doing I'll be OK,
