How do I make those big decisions that must be made?

Making Major Decisions

For major decisions, gather as much information as you can regarding the pros and cons of the situation and make the best judgment as to what would be the right thing to do. Is it right, fair, legal, honest, etc.? Is it in your children's or your best interest? What are the consequences of deciding the opposite? Look at the long-term implications of the decision, don't just live for the moment. Some decisions can have devastating effects that can take a long time to overcome, such as should I quit my job because I can't stand my boss? The easy answer is “yes, quit,” but the right answer would be “no.” Remember you have a family to support, bills to pay, and an obligation to do your job the best you can. If there are major conflicts, then start looking for another job, but don't quit until you have another secure job in hand. Think logically, not emotionally.
