Life Decisions

How do you decide? At what point do your decisions reach critical mass? I make decisions all day long, and most of them probably don't get the consideration they deserve because they don't appear to be life altering, or just aren't perceived as important. I don't wait for a sign about what to have for breakfast, or check to see if the spirit is moving me to take a certain route to work, but when it comes to taking a new job or going on vacation, I get all tied up in knots and spend hours praying, weighing the pros and cons, and evaluating how I "feel" about each decision. All this does in the long run is cause me to make foolish eating decsions (comfort food, ahoy!) and gain about five pounds. How do YOU decide? What makes you take the second path when the first path seems just as good, or even better?
