Making the best decision

Look, decisions are tough.  For you.  For me.  For everyone.

Particularly life changing ones.

Who am I to argue with a fortune cookie?
And they're even tougher when you have kids.  When there are a myriad of other people who are going to be impacted by whichever choice you make.

It's easy to not make a decision at all (although that'll eventually catch up with you too...).  Or to make the decision that you think is going to make the most people happy. 

But what I've learned is this...



You can't make everyone else happy.  It never works.

You have to be honest with yourself.  Decide what YOU really want and figure out a way to make yourself happy. 

Because, in the end, that's all there is. 

Your happiness.

And we all deserve to be happy.  (Of course, you don't go out of your way to hurt other people, but all other things being equal, YOUR happiness is the most important...)

Believe it or not, being happy benefits those people that we try to protect.  It makes us better people.  Better parents.  Better lovers.  Better friends. 

And it makes us have a life that is fulfilled. 

Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing anyway?
