How do I know if I am making the wrong decisions? How do I avoid peer pressure? Am I a bad person for doing a bad thing? When do I know if I am going too far? How do I change my morals without feeling guilty for not respecting my original beliefs? What does it mean when I think I am a bad person? What do I do when I start losing myself?

These are great questions. Decision making can be tough sometimes. When it comes to decision making, there are three levels of intensity: small decisions, big decisions and life decisions.

Small decisions can impact our lives for a moment, but the impact does not last. People struggle to make the simplest decisions —sometimes it’s just about listening to your body for the answer. And other times, you can just flip a coin. Not all decisions will alter the course of our lives.

Big decisions, however, are directors for our lives that can move you down a path you had no plans of traveling. Making big decisions should take awhile so you can consider your options more carefully.

Life decisions should not be taken as lightly as the others — you should be evaluating the outcome you want. Life decisions do not have to be made alone, you should seek advice from people in your life.

As for peer pressure, there is no way to avoid it. You will eventually be put into a situation where people will ask you to do something you’re not comfortable with. It’s really just about how secure you are with yourself to be able to make the decision without other people influencing you.

Morals are a tough subject to discuss. Everyone has their own beliefs and rights to their own beliefs. But no matter your moral beliefs, one bad action can make you a bad person, especially when some actions are made by accident. The type of person you are is determined by all your actions as a collective. As long as you live your life without purposely hurting people, then there is no “too far.” If you think you’re a bad person, you almost certainly are not. This is because bad people typically do not question their actions.

Moral growth is something that happens throughout your life. With every new experience, you gain a new perspective. Getting hung up on the past only keeps you from moving forward. The best thing is to let yourself grow and see what happens. Accept new experiences and give yourself the space to go far.
