I generally do mine at the bathroom mirror every morning. It's easy just be truthful and ask yourself if you're Happy with yourself, if you're headed to your Goals, if you're Treating other people and yourself Right, and if there is anything you see you would like to change about yourself. Most people seem to know this, yet they still let other people, circumstances, pressures, and a million other factors sway major decisions in their lives. Now, it's OK to get a second opinion on things, and you definitely want to talk things over with your wife, but you shouldn't let what someone else will think about you, enter into your decision making. Never base a decision on anything that did not first start of your conviction.
Opinions have vested interests just as men have.
Do what you do, by your own hand, not by what mommy and daddy said was best, I hate to have to say this, but they also have vested interests. Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise . . . Live your life for yourself, so your successes can truly be yours, and not someone else's unfulfilled dream. The only thing that I know of, that can be depended on for unbiased, unopinionated help in your decision making, comes from a higher power. It is a self-help book I have written, if you would like to know more about it check out my link at the bottom of the page.
