The Decisions you make are based upon the information you already have

So, one of the things I'm doing at this site is to share information that you might not have access to otherwise so you can make better decisions now and into the future.

Each of us can only make the best decisions with whatever information we can garner in any moment.

My father used to tell me that, "You will be making decisions the rest of your life" when I was a young man. He said, "You just have to keep making decisions as best you can and keep right on going."

He said, "Many people freeze up and stop making decisions. You cannot do that because if you do you just stop living life. So, what you do is to make the best decision you can in each and every moment. Most decisions you can change or modify later as you get better information. There are some things you cannot change, however. And those you are just going to have to live with."

In my life I found this really valuable and so this is how I have lived my life by being somewhat spontaneous always. However, after you get married and have children being spontaneous is more difficult, especially if you want to remain married and to raise your children right.

But, what my father said I always have seen as very valuable. Because he's right. You do have to just keep making decisions and about 90% of those decisions you can modify as you get more and better information along the way.

The important thing is to not make decisions that could end your life because you made a really stupid decision along the way. So, being practical in all things and living up to your own values allows you to sleep at night.

Because if you cannot live with whatever you do then you won't. And so then you will not be here on earth to make anymore decisions at all.

So integrity and compassion for yourself and all others saves your life and all the lives around you ongoing.
