My dad always says “Good Decisions = Good Results”, but when I was younger I would ask him “How do I know I was making a good decision?” His answer when I was a kid was “You ask the man coming out of the jungle, what to look out for.”

When I got older I understood that he meant you rely on the people who have made the bad decisions to guide you to the better ones. Now I’m the age where I have learned to formulate and reason quite effectively, I still go to him for advice,  but generally when it comes to making decisions we don’t take the time to ask the right questions or develop a way to tackle decision making to help propel ourselves through tough choices.

Here are some tips that I use to help me when I have to make decisions that are above the normal variety. (Things that will disturb my finances, morals, life changes such as career, relationships, life goals.)
