I always try to let fate decide. So lets say there was a popular show I
wanted to see but the tickets were really expensive. Id wait a couple of
days and then ring up to buy the tickets. If they were sold out, fate would
have decided for me

When it comes to difficult decisions, I find I often have to go with my gut

feelings. If I try to use reason, sometimes I go round and round in circles,
because there are just too many factors to consider

Feelings can be very deceptive. I try to make decisions in a completely

rational way and ignore what my emotions are trying to tell me

I find the easiest way to make a difficult decision is to make a points

system. If I had to decide whether to take a new job, for example, Id score
each advantage of the job with a positive number and each disadvantage
with a negative number. Then Id add them up and see if the total is positive
or negative
