How Do You Know You're Making the Best Choice?

You are never going to know if the choice you made was the best one possible at that moment. There is no time machine or a future machine to help you make decisions for the long term. The best you can do is what feels right, and what makes you happy at the moment.

    The answers to both these questions instantly made me think of the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. GARY YOU'RE A MODERN DAY NON RHYMING POET GENIUS. Here's the poem for anyone who likes that kinda stuff. The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

    I needed to hear this! Specifically this part: “The only thing I know that seems practical is... are you happy?” I moved to NYC at the beginning of the year for no reason other than to be able to hang out with my brothers more, to experience nyc, and because I’m single so I could just up and move like that. I’ve been debating whether or not to move back at the end of the year. “The only thing I know that seems practical is... are you happy?” That lined did it for me. It’s not that I’m not happy, but deep down I know I would be happier going back. : )

The point is, you cannot know... ever. And, making peace with this not-knowing, the best anyone can do is choose to maximize happiness, while forgetting ideas like 'better' and 'best'. Cheers!

    The fact that we'll never know what would've happened had we made a different decision is a bit of a good thing. Knowing that we always have a choice is good and frustrating as I like everyone else overthinks everything

    I’m also struggling if I’m doing the right thing or not coz I recently moved out of the house and started to rent even if I’m work from home which doesn’t make sense to everyone who hears my reason why I moved out but I did this because I want to experience and know to myself if I can live away from our house and my family since I’m planning to go abroad for work. It’s like a training so I will know if I should pursue to apply working abroad or not.
