Question: What does the Torah say about decision-making?
Answer: Thank you for submitting this question. The Torah values those who know what they want. In Judaism we always say that having a purpose in life is what will lead you to ultimate happiness.
There is a book called Derech Hashem, or The Way of G-d, by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato. In this Kabbalistic work Rabbi Luzzato teaches us that we must know the purpose of our lives in order to know what is best for us at any given time. We must constantly be evaluating who we are and whether the decisions that we make are consistent with our greater purpose.
In order to find out what our purpose is, however, a person needs to do a lot of soul searching and self evaluation. I suggest meeting with a mentor who can guide you in these areas.
I hope that this helps.
Be Well,
Rabbi Litt
