Left or Right?

I challenge you all to find a person in the world today who hasn't ever been faced with the daunting task of making a hard decision. Choices have to be made everyday. Some are simple ones that our brains sort through effortlessly to the point of us hardly even noticing, but unfortunately, one day the deciding process won't be so simple. We will indefinitely find ourselves standing before a wall of discernment that seems impossible to navigate over. The common piece of advice given is usually the cliche, "just follow your heart." Although this may seem to be the better option, actually applying the principle is rather difficult. In the situation where one is faced with a difficult decision, following your heart may only lead to impulsivity, whereby mentally processing the situation, you can assess possibilities with as little internal bias as possible. Don't take this the wrong way and assume I'm telling you to become an emotionless robot, relying on mechanical processing to operate your life, your heart may, and often will, end up being the path you take. Ones heart can lead them in incredible directions, but I encourage you to step back from the issue, and weigh all possible options and scenarios. Assure yourself of the quality and stability of your choice before taking your next step forward in life.
DETERMINE FROM A DISTANCE.
