Decisions such as whether you should end a relationship or whether you should change jobs, it is not an easy decision but you still must make a firm decision that you do not linger to concentrate on one situation and ignore other problems awaiting your decision as well.


Once you make a decision, it does not mean your work is finished there alone. You must monitor and evaluate the impact and the real effects of the decisions you've made. If the result was not in accordance with your expectation, you can rotate the path and take another path. Not too late to improve.
