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.

Telling people "Just pick something and go with it", that's wrong advice from my own experience, you need to speak to mentors in the space you have the dilemma and you can learn from their experience and not yours, that's the best answer to such a question. Reason being, you really can't solve some problems without having huge experience in the field and thus just a simple phone call with the right person can give you a lot of clarity and unhide so many things you would never have in a million have thought about.

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.
Once you make a choice, you just have to make the best of it.

It's human error to always over analyze and put excuses to why we are not where we want to be!! I had to hear this, thank you Gary.
*0:47** is me wow!! I’m stopping my college route to pursue flight training + youtube, and hopefully finishing my bachelors later. I love this video, because it’s very true!! And ultimately as long as you end up happy or your version of successful, whatever that may look like, you picked the right decision. No looking back.* :)
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. : )
This is the best recommendation I got from KZread so far. I really needed to hear this. So much love Gary
I just feel it. You will feel it when any words you speak to the person or prospect you are working with, feels completely natural. Even if it isn’t natural, it’ll come in time!!😄
Thank you Gary! This was a much needed one..! No overthinking- No overanalysing. Do what you feel is right. Cos you’ll never know about the #roadnottaken
This video is so important!! Thank you for the upload Gary!! And thank your team!!

Very valuable way to think. Alan Watts said the same about choices in a different way, " EVERY choice is the RIGHT choice. " - " You can't make a mistake, whatever you do, 'cause even if you do something that seems totally disastrous, it will all came out in the wash somehow or other. "

Great advice! There is no “perfect” decision. Just pick one decision and stick with it.
In truth you only really know when the results of the decision you have made are what you wanted or better. I say focus less on worrying whether you make the right choice/decisions and just make a decision

No. Even if the results are what you wanted, you still don't know. Consider again Gary's point about the girl enjoying enormous success but ending up on a plane that crashes, killing her. 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!

What are you doing bro right now
Oh my god. This is exactly what I was wondering in my life right now. What to choose, I was so scared that no matter the choices are I would have failed. "If the choices work out for you it's good if it does not adjust"
I actually really needed this right at this time. I’m building a travel adventure brand right now but my other option is going to school and taking an outdoor adventure program. I decided to do the travel adventure brand because that will make me more happier but it’s more riskier. Now i just got to work hard and be patient and see what happens.
Just do one thing and learn from mistakes.
I sooo needed this.. As i overthink and overanalyze just way to much!
I went to college and it turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done.
this is one of my favourite videos of gary so far and its just 5 min long.

Best speech i have ever seen, so simple and to the point. Nothing left open i can feel its the only right answer to decision making.
Thank you for all of the awesome videos Gary!
Yes! Love this! I finally had to just decide and "do it." Now Im all in
love his attitude towards life
Great insight in Gary's response. Pick a path and run it.
Gary, I am 71. A retired secretary. I have wanted to resell for most of my life..never thought there was $ in it. I have been listening to your videos for a month. Absolutely, amazing. I think you are brilliant. You've changed my life. I have 1 favor. Please cool it on the "F" word. It keeps rolling around in my head and I'm afraid it is going to slip out one day at church. (Not good) God Bless you.

Thanks ma man
I’ve been having such a hard time deciding weather or not I wanted to stay in my hometown or move back to Florida with my grandma and finish school, it’s just hard to decide because I’ve lived there before and we kinda bumped heads and I didn’t have any friends there plus I’m trying to model also and everything was new to me down there where as in my hometown I know a lil more people and have certain photographers, and know what to expect but not so much as Florida but this video definitely helped me find ways to come to a decision, I can be be very indecisive sometimes and overthink it.
man oh man!! gary, you can really understand us and answer to the point, and that to realistic, not some visionary BS
So glad I found this channel

Much needed appreciate💜
Agree..i think people need to listen to their gut.. you will never know how something else would have worked out... so i think in the end result people should just do what makes them happy.. whatever it is that makes you bleed in passion,, aim for it & pull the trigger
@GaryVee : That’s right but Knowledge (High school and University) can give more ways to choose with learning and study and also with experience people can choose.......this two things coexist and can’t be separated or can’t miss
I think I've been asking that question my entire life
Yes sir.
I love these talks
Thanks gary
Great content Gary. Thanks.

Theres no crystal ball. There are decisions, trade-offs, adjustments/adapting and lessons.

I guess you just have to weigh the pros and cons of both and decide what’s best at the moment.
True
I love you garryvee
Agreed. Choose something. Do your best analysis, and take a chance. I graduated college without debt because I made a choice and committedTo it. I don’t have student loans so it’s allowed me to try new things, read a ton of books, and explore my opportunities.. A degree is just a piece of paper. What you do with your life is so much more important than what you major in.
Spot on.

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
Facts
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.
The raw honest truth is just SO GOOD Gary. LOVE the straight answers you give. No bullshit. Fuckin brilliant.
