P.S.   

When it turns out you made the right decision, be sure to appreciate the outcome. Don’t ever take it for granted.  Treasure it each day and give thanks for the gift of wisdom that guided your decision.  And if it does not work out, have the courage to make a change again. This time too, the outcome could be great love or great achievement.
