Now or never

My life works partly on a guideline of priorities. I must say I put thought in this sentence: using the words "partly", "guideline" and "priorities". Firstly, one rule doesn't dictate my whole life. Some situations I look to this guideline, others are intuitive. Secondly, it's a guideline because my priorities aren't hard and fast rules to follow by, but just a rank of things which when given a choice assuming desperate situations, I would choose to keep. On days when my emotions are too strong to facilitate rational thought, my priorities actually help me decide better. 

My decision making is based a lot on weighing the options to the best of my knowledge. I agree with those people who say that many of us these days merely wait until it is a "right time" to make a decision, when in fact, all we've done is to wait until there was only one option left. In that case, the decision was already made by time, not by us. I would rather risk making a decision that could be right, than wait for a decision that could be wrong. And of course the contrary could be true, but I'm comparing the best and worst scenarios to emphasize the difference between deciding and waiting.
