Drastic life-changing decisions should not be made in the heat of the moment. It is a metaphysical framework that one should consider equivalent to the axiom warning us against shopping for groceries on an empty stomach.

Don’t Do It!

If a drastic life-changing decision affects you and you alone; well you do in fact have a right to screw up your own life. However, relatively few actions impact only ourselves.

Most actions directly or indirectly involve those we care about or at the very least those that care about us. So instead of acting irrationally, take a deep breath and pause. Consider involving all the players in the game and talk about the options.

You can always jump off a bridge tomorrow.

For now just take a nice long walk barefoot on a sandy beach during a west coast sunset.
