1. I unusually do the wrong thing for
very selfish reasons. I am trying to work on that.

5. I played a lot of Texas Hold'em.
That teaches you to either not to regret your decisions, even if they were the wrong ones, or to agonize over everything right or wrong. :P I chose the first path.

8. If it is a big decision, I will weigh out the pros and cons
and talk to people who I think might have experience in this area.

I also will ultimately make the decision myself. No decision is totally final, although many decisions cannot be reversed. New opportunities may open from making decisions.

I also will try to check inwardly to see what is going on with my body, and maybe if I'm lucky a glimpse of my spirit.

Not to decide, is also a decision as well.

Small decisions, roll the dice.

As Crimsonblue said above there is no "wrong" decision. I think they are right. We may make decisions that we wish we hadn't. We may make decisions that we later decide were poor or that others tell us are "wrong", but a decision is just choosing a different path.

We decide things every day that it is possible in the long run would have changed something in our lives. Every moment, we could stand, sit, move, call someone, go somewhere, etc. All having a different possible outcome. And infinite possible outcomes. Some believe that for every decision one makes there is in an alternate dimension an alternate you making the opposite and infinite variations.

Whether that is true, I have no idea.

I do think that every moment we have the opportunity to change our life in some way, either for better or worse. We make positive choices and negative choices and those are reflected in us in some way. (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)

Just my .02

9. I try not to think in terms of "right " or "wrong" but to step into TRUST
and remember that no matter what path I choose, ALL WILL BE WELL.

We are all supported by a beneficent Universe. :hug:

10. Neither. I strive to make the right decision for the right reasons.
Sometimes I catch hell and grief over it, but I always expect it and weigh the consequences of possible disagreement.
