Generally the litmus test of a good decision is to determine whether or not you would do anything about it differently, were you to have the opportunity. If you would change nothing, you probably made a good decision (pride and ego notwithstanding).

In thinking through the last year, there are one or two things of note that I’d do differently. That I would do it differently, however, doesn’t mean that I would have done it correctly or been correct in doing it.

That I would do things differently only indicates that there are questions to which I will probably never have the answer, but about which I remain curious. So curious in fact, that had I had the chance to redo them, I would.

There is no regret as there would be had a bad decision been made, because there is little proof that the decisions made were bad. In fact, they may have been best of the options.

My struggle is with settling on the decision, and “settling for” the options. Perhaps this year, I will give myself, and be fortunate enough to receive, more options. There must be a balance between assessing to learn, assessing for sport, and forgetting about things all together. Naturally, that’s easier said than done.
