Decisions are cliched. The whole topic is cliched (in my opinion anyway). The best way to make a decision is to use logic and reasoning. To use a cliche (to describe this cliched topic...), you can't let emotions cloud your judgment.
When I have a decision to make, I try to use logic. For example, I recently decided which college I will be going to next year. That was a really hard decision. I had to decide where I would spend the next 4 years of my life, what school would give me the best education, where I would be happy, and how much debt I was willing to put myself in, all based on a few campus tours and information pamphlets. So, rather than let my fear and uncertainty cloud my judgment, I used logic to find my best option. RIT ended up being very close to my final choice, but I saw that it was emotions tying me to that school, and Penn State was a better option.
My decisions impact those around me in many ways. For instance, by deciding what college I am going to I am telling my parents that I will be a 3 hour drive from any direct family contact at all times (not necessarily a bad thing from my perspective...). Minor decisions like how I behave also affects my family's feelings and attitudes towards me.
