One of the reasons why making choices seems overwhelming or scary is because we are thinking in terms of permanent decisions. Besides having children, which have a lasting effect on our life, most decisions can be revised and changed.
As long as you do not judge your choices, then there is no need to feel guilty about not making a good decision. I believe that any direction, the action you take follows logic. Either it is a learning experience or a karmic wash. For example, getting married to someone that is not the right fit may result from a karmic debt or learning lesson. Failing in a business venture may be the opportunity for a complete life change or a tool to become humbler, and resilient.
There is no failure unless we give up learning from it and adjusting our strategy. This is why having a coach is so important. A coach is an objective outsider, someone who can support you and be resourceful to help you see the big picture of your personal evolution or business growth.
