decisions

we make decisions for a lot of different reasons...some selfish, some not. The decisions we make today affect us the rest of our life. Its kind of unfortunate, because people in their 20s dont have the decision making skills to be able to know what's best for us and what is just a sudden, rash decision. Anyways, one would think it to be the best for us to make decisions based solely on selfish reasons...I mean, nobody else looks out for our best interests right? that isn't always the case though. If someone has a good head on their shoulders and tells me something, I usually at least consider their viewpoint. I dont always take their advice, but I listen, at the very least. Sometimes its hard to take other people's decisions, because you know them to be based on shady logic, selfish reasoning. But in the end, selfish comes back to bite them in the ass. And if it doesn't, so what...just gotta live your life as it comes. With patient files, its important to update the problem list to reflet 'highest clinical knowledge'...you have to do the same with everyday reasoning, as well. don't base decisions today on things you knew to be true 6, 12 months ago...its just about today. what is real this very moment, what you know to be true. I keep having to tell myself this, its true today as much as it is any other time..life in the moment, dont let the past get you down. I make that mistake too much, its done and over with, time doesn't stop with other peoples' poor decisions
