Not following your heart can be a good way to make a bad choice.

We are all living in the last days of this system of things and Jesus said that it would be difficult for everyone. But don't be angry with yourself; everyone makes bad choices at times. It's good that you realize that you have choices, though. God's word talks about "The Way" in which we can live happy lives, and you'll find that you have more choices than you thought possible. Contact any one of Jehovah's Witnesses that you meet, and they can show how to make better choices in your life.

Only in this world is there choice.  But this is a double edged sword.  We as people can make good choices or bad choices.  That is up to us alone.  This world is a good place, nowhere else can we have choice.  Every moment it begins a new as being good.  It will either remain good by good choices, and be made bad by our choices.  But even if we turn it bad by one choice, the next choice comes and the world is good again, and we have a chance to make it better with a good decision.  We simply need to know what is good to do and what is bad to do and break ourselves of the bad things.

Probably some of the really bad mistakes I've made but then again everything happens for a reason kinda like it was God's intention for things to go certain ways however we do make the choices so there will be consequences! we just have to deal with them in a mature way!!!

The best way would be to not put yourself in a position where it would be hard for you to say no.  Go to public places, have other people around you - that way you are not tempted to do anything.  Keep yourself busy by doing other things that interest you.

First let me say you are not the only one who has been through such things.  I too, have done things which I later regret but at the time I refuse to think about the consequences because at the time it feels right.  You can avoid making the same mistakes twice by learning from your first mistake.  Before you do something on impulse..evaluate the situation, think about the pros and cons and then decide if it's worth it.

The best answer is the answer that comes from the heart.  Whenever making a decision and trying to sort things out... do it with a whole heart.  Don't do things that you may regret and don't do things that others want you to do.   Simplify the question and look for the answer that best suites you!\n\n\nBest of Luck... Peace and Love!

I am extremely indecisive. I do exactly what Winston said... Pull the Trigger. Like in a restaurant, I say to myself, "I'll just order this dish. Even if it is not good, at least I will know what not to order next time".\nI just think that everyone makes bad judgements, let me make one too. \n\nAlthough when it comes to more serious things, it will be wise to take someone's help. Like you want to decide on a career... so talk to your counsellor, your friends. You could also talk to different people who chose the paths you are thinking about, and ask them how they fared.\nGod Bless You.

Learn to accept change. It may seem change is bad, but it is only bad if you can't adapt. If you make better choices in life you'll find that change is mostly a positive developement.

You have to take responsibility for your own actions.  Our problems are usually caused by our own bad choices. Or the bad choices of others. If you find yourself in a bad situation it's always good to sit back and reflect on the decisions you have made to get you where you are. This is so you can try to avoid doing the same thing again in the future, and getting stuck in a viscious cycle. This will also help you think of ways to make your current situation better.  Sometimes we are the victim of others bad choices. In this case we can only try to put the pieces of our lives back together again.\nIf you choose to believe that God can help you out of a current situation, then you also need to accept that he is most likely not going to send an army out of the sky, to rescue you. He would expect you to take positive steps on your own to make your situation better. \nUltimately we are responsible for our decisions, and the status of our lives. I have made my share of mistakes, and have learned that only I can change the course of my life through the decisions I make now and in the future.  For instance, if you choose to do good in school and go to college to make a good life for yourself that is a "decision" you made that effects your life. However, on the flip side, if you choose to quit school, do drugs, and not get a job, don't be surprised if you wake up one day and realize that you have NOTHING.  Here's the point though, If you wake up and realize you have nothing.. it's not too late!! NOW is when you decide to make better choices starting today. This applies to any problem that you are having. I just used the above as an example. In this example you would have to start by getting off drugs, get help if you have too, get a job. It doesn't matter if it's fast food, or convenience store. We all have to start somewhere.Go back to school when you can.  These things will enable you to take care of yourself. Self-esteem comes from being able to do that.  This doesn't solve every problem you have but it's a start.  No matter what problem you are having.. start moving in a positive direction whatever the case may be.

Make better decisions.  Think about the possible results <both good and bad> prior to every choice.  \n\nAlmost everything that happens to us is the result of choices we make prior to the actual event.  Some of them seem insignificant at the time.  They are not.\n\nLife doesn't just happen to us.  We create our futures on a day to day basis, by the choices we make today.

They make poor choices because it is easier, and because poor choices usually provide instant gratification (and then backfire in the long run) while better choices require you to work harder in the moment, for a bigger payoff later.  For instance, if you are in a relationship and a hot guy is all over you, begging you to make out/hook up or whatever, it would  be easy to cave in to the whims of your hormones and not think of the consequences.  In order to make the RIGHT choice though, you'd have to have some self-restraint and think about someone OTHER than yourself.  A lot of people do not have that, and can't do that.  You'd also have to THINK about your desire to have a future with the person you are in a relationship with, and decide that a little fun with someone who is good-looking, but probably has nothing else to offer, is not worth throwing away your relationship for.  Many people are not capable of that either.\n\nIt is the same with people who sell drugs or whatever for a living - they are doing what is easiest for them, what they know, and what provides instant money, INSTEAD of taking a job that doesn't pay well (but is honest), living frugally for a good amount of time, working hard, and eventually moving up the ranks and finding success.

We have freedom of choice.  Some choose to be bad.
