I have two things that I live by and they're applicable when making tough decisions and also just life in general.

1. Firstly, do what makes you happy. If you make a decision based on trying to make yourself happy, I genuinely think you'll be better off for it. Even if it takes a little while, it will work out eventually.

2. The second thing, is IF for whatever reason option 1 isn't possible or its not clear how to do option 1, the absolute one thing you must never do are things that make you unhappy. If I'm living my life doing things that make me unhappy then I'm doing it wrong. I've made a few decisions in my life thats have suprised friends or family, such as quitting well paid jobs etc, because they made me unhappy. As soon as I realised thats what was making me unhappy, I got out immediately and I don't regret that for second.

Largely I've found these apply mostly to relationships and jobs, but I think you can apply them to a lot of situations.

If you look in the mirror and don`t like what is looking back , chances are others don`t either , change it .
If you worry that you have upset someone and it bother`s you , you have a conscience , don`t change it .
If you can continue to learn from the first two your reward will be good friends and self respect , both priceless .
