when it comes to any decision that could change your life, like career change, romantic partners, or any other major issue? Do you trust your instincts or take advices from people you trust? What if everyone is telling you it's a bad idea? What if you want to do it but you're afraid you're making a mistake?
I know it sounds pretty generic but I just wonder of how would you go about taking control of your life?
Thanks for any answer.

If asking too many people becomes confusing than stop...otherwise they will be the ones in the end who make the decisions for you through influence. Do what U know feels right and make those decisions for yourself w/ only YOUR influence. Ask YOURself. After doing this long enough you will learn to trust in you and become more confident w/ your life. Something to try when you just can't decide...put on some light classical (even if you don't like it, trust me) mozart is usually best...and make a two sided list pros on one side, cons on the other...take a couple of days to look it over and think about it, then decide. Works for me every time! :)

First of all, I never think of any decision as a wrong decision. I just think that if I made a poor choice, I will have to deal with the consequences.
When I am not sure what to do, I ask friends and family members, but in the end, I make the decision. I take their advice and consider it carefully, but I have to make the decision myself, because otherwise, I will not feel that I have done what is right for me.

Everytime I have ever gone against my gut instincts... I have lived to regret it! So! Listen to your own gut instincts and then do what you think is right. That's all you can do. Sometimes people give really good advice and sometimes they don't. So, you decide on what you will take and what you will pass on. The bottom line is that it's your life and you're the boss of it. You're in charge.... So base your decision on what you want and need and not on what other's think you need. Okay?
Remember...."To thine own self be true."

Believe in yourself and trust your instincts. If you're not happy in a situation, do what it takes to be happy. It's really scary to make life-changing decisions, but again, trust your judgement and do what you believe (feel) would be best for you.
I walked out of a 30-year marriage (hardest thing I've ever done)......but I am so happy!
Takes a lot of courage but I believe you have it!

Trust your instincts and listen to your inners. How could others know whats best for you. Only you can do that. Think about the consequenses if it should fail. Are you willing to accept it if it fails? it's OK to fail at some things. Usually it's the best teacher. Good luck!

I don't think you can know for sure till you look back on it and see how it turned out.
Take control of your life? Sometimes you just need to stomp your feet and say hey its my life. Do it inside your head though.
If every one is telling you it is a bad idea look at thier lives. Are they sane? Usually if three non related people tell me the same thing I do what they say. It is often easier for other people to see how things are going because they are not living it.
