Meditate.
from The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by Dalai Lama XIV
If you meditate in this manner before making a large decision—such as the decision to get married, to have children, to become a lawyer/artist/electrician, etc.—you will be more likely to make the decision that will lead you toward lasting happiness.
