I think you have to think of it in terms of what the worst step did as a result. I seem to find that after the conclusion is finally made... good or bad... i have learned from the decision and its experience. So... in all simplicty ... do you look at the glass half full? or half empty? This is life... 'Troths' and 'Crests' and then you flatline in the end.... Do you really want to live without the bad? I think you will find life to be quite a bore. I'm sorry im not more sympathetic to your current circumstance, but it seems as though life is governed by fundamental cycle of ups and downs and lefts and rights and yes and no's.

Use Hypothetico Deductive Reasoning.
1) First develop a hypothesis about what is going on based on your observations and introspection.
2) From the hypothesis a sufficient number of explicit predictions of further phenomena are deduced that should be observable as a consequence of the hypothesis. In other words, you should be able to predict how people would react or how you will feel if certain things happened.
3) Then actively seek out phenomena that disproves your original hypothesis.
4) Adjust your hypothesis accordingly each time to account for these counterexamples.
You will understand things a lot better if you follow this course, but you won't necesarily be happy with all your decisions since your observations will become more complete over time.

If your act is based on compassion, you will be infallible. Each decision you make must be made as appropriate to it's context and unique particulars, but so long as you at with your intent compassion, you will know in your heart that you acted with the best of intentions. You can apply compassion to just about anything, you just think about how your act can benefit others, even if the benefit is negligible, it's still something.
Either way a decision must be made, it's a fact of life, and if you act with compassion you aim for the most positive potential for the situation.

"...without feeling guilty..." is the focal point here. Knowing conditions change (and our appraisals with them), we have to be capable of accepting these facts before we can rid ourselves of the responsibility (guilt) for results arrived at due to such change. Think of it this way:
If you have 5 marbles, you play your game with those 5. If you are given 2 marbles later, guilt is a wasted investment if you're feeling responsible for not having played with the 7 in the first place (when they weren't even there!). In the end, no matter how many marbles you have (or don't have), you "pick 'em up and play another game."
It's not like this happens only to you, each and every human is stuck with this fact of life: "the only thing that never changes is the fact that everything changes." Welcome to the human race!

Here's the simple answer: don't be afraid to be wrong.
Being wrong is an elegant part of your total life. I'm a day trader. I trade all day long and I'm wrong 6 times out of 10, but I still make a living. How? Being wrong is a byproduct of my job ... just as being wrong is a byproduct of a human who is engaged in his or her life to their fullest.
Accept the possibility that you might be wrong from the start (and that you might be correct!) and then if you are wrong, you won't be as surprised. The shock will be less and you'll be more likely to try again.
Don't fear being wrong; fear doing nothing.
Cheers. :-)

There are no guarantees of next year, next month, or even tomorrow. You have to make the best decision with the information currently at hand and take comfort in knowing that you did what you could at that moment!

Accept that you are not perfect or omniscient, then do your best. Perhaps the result is not what you wanted, but good enough for most of those affected.

We should surely ask whether anyone else is affected by these decisions.
