Hmm, I wanna tell u the way i decide..
Thats very simple.. Just dream about your ideal life and ideal occassions... then look around the options available that may go close to what u have dream about..
i think what we can imagine, we can do... imagining your ideal life represents your inner most desire and leading that may resolve confusion... hope it will help u a bit.......

Most people change careers at least a few times. I don't know if it's possible to find what you REALLY want. Most people's interests are so diverse that nothing they could pick would encompass everything. I think the best thing anyone can do is to narrow down their options, and then weigh out the pro's and con's of each one. Then, once you pick your direction, head in that direction and try not to look back. Go for it with all you've got. There's no right or wrong decision when picking a career or direction in life, so you have to MAKE your choice into the right choice by giving it your all. And if you become really miserable with it, you can always make a change.
Good luck!

Saffire, don't let the conflicting emotions drag you down. When you have done some of the things you wanted to do, be sure to keep a journal along the way. Then, every-so-often, review it. Does it read like you liked what you are doing? Do you feel good about it? If not, move on to something else, and continue evaluating how you do or do not like it. Be sure to do things you love along the way. That makes the journey pleasant, memorable, and lets you be happy. When you feel the conflict again, write about it in your journal.

Maybe if you decide what it is that you really NEED and pursue the means to achieve those goals, what you think you WANT, may not be necessary. Quality, not quantity. Ask yourself, "Do I NEED this or do I WANT this? You may WANT a lot but you NEED to do what makes you happy.
Doing volunteer work in your community might give you some direction. Involve yourself in the things that interest you, talk to others about what they do, check out career counselors. There are tests that will show you areas you might be inclined to pursue that you would not consider, not knowing what's available. You have a life time of possibilities but prioritize what is important to your happiness and well being.

In The Republic, Plato (though Socrates) talks about our tri-partite soul and conflicting desire. Plato claims that each individual soul has three separate seats of desire and motivation: the appetitive part of our soul lusts after food, drink, sex, and so on (and after money most of all, since money is the means of satisfying the rest of these desires); the spirited part of the soul yearns for honor; the rational part of the soul desires truth and knowledge. In a just soul, these three parts stand in the correct power relations. The rational part must rule, the spirited part must enforce the rational part’s convictions, and the appetitive part must obey. So to directly answer your question you know what you want when you want it for REASONS, not just because you desire a certain thing X. Needless to say coming up with these reasons or evaluating them is a decidedly difficult process; need to really think about what you truly value and why. Hard as this process may be fear not because this is precisely the kind of thing that humans are uniquely suited for. Good Luck!

One thing I learned is that the things a person wants will change over the course of their life time. If you have a conflict of interests now, wait a while and your wants will change, perhaps even narrow down to one.
I do agree with a couple of the other answers... Try to see yourself in the future and go with your gut. If you feel you have made a wrong choice later, you can always make changes. The great thing about our lives IS that they change. Nobody has to be "stuck" at anything... even bad decisions.
Fear of making a mistake keeps a person prisoner from getting all that life has to offer. I have two basic rules that I apply to all my decisions: Do good to me without doing bad to others. Do good for others without doing bad for me. I trust my gut with most things.

Perhaps your search is being forced by you. Perhaps your decisions are so difficult because they are not your true decisions. What if you go to school and find that you have wasted 4 years of your life and alot of money, only to become someone that you never wanted to be. Why don't you review who you are and what you enjoy doing the most. You may find less questioning involved if you are making yourself truly happy. What's to question if you are with the one you know you love? The more specific you get the easier it is to answer with more directness.

I've never been able to come to a decision about what I really want...only what I really don't want. Just remember, no matter what your age, or station in life, it's never too late to start over and go with something that sounds good.

I know what are you saying...
The thing is that our needs and desires make evolution just like us that we progress every day.
So you never know what is good for you today will be and tomorrow.
So, to solve this conflict every time you just pray to god...."god give me not what I want but what is best for me that I'm not aware of it".
Peace!

Live your life in accordance with universal law and, naturally, your path will lead you to the most suitable and desirable of places. Somewhere where you have potential to become an expert.
