As I grow up, I have realized that one of the hardest thing in life is the decision-making. For every decisions you choose, there is always a consequence, whether it's good or bad. We have the freedom and the free will to choose our path but it's a matter of taking risk and facing what the outcome will be. No one is 100% successful in decision-making not even if they claim they are good at it because the truth is we are like picking assorted candies in a box. So even if you decided wisely, it doesn't mean it's the best decision or it will lead you to a positive outcome. It doesn't work like that. Not because it's a greener pasture it will lead you to a desired path. I realized it isn't like that. Decision-making is like flipping the cards that you think will bring you the luck. But the truth is you are playing with the fate. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, according to Newton's third law of motion. Life s a box of chocolate and you never know what you're gonna get, as Forest Grump says. So far what's your best decision in life? Or what is your biggest regret in life?

Thomas Sowell has said that every action has a trade-off. We have to measure our actions based on whether or not the trade-off is acceptable or not. Your post also reminds me of a quote from Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe: “Make a commitment. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, a chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance that no man could have come his way. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now”.
