There are two type.
1.If we did right thing for someone else. In this modern, fast world to help for each others became important thing. To make easier someone life is a very thankful job. When we can see them satisfied and happy, definitely we made right thing.
2. For ourself: when we do something what doesn't limit some else's life, and we are happy.we can feel ourself in calm, nothing disturbs in normal life

"I've Never Been Very Sure About What is Right, said Bill Door. I am not Sure There is Such a Thing a Right. Or Wrong. Just Places to Stand." - (Terry Pratchett, "Reaper Man") This question hints at self-doubt, anxiety, and unresolved tension. Believe in yourself. You are the expert on you. You know how you feel about this situation, and you know how you feel about how you handled this situation, and it's okay to feel things. We always have options. Examine your feelings when you think about what happened. Think of ways you could have handled the situation worse and better. If other people were involved, try to think of it from their position. I If you feel ultimately you did the right thing, believe in yourself, Try to examine why this issue is still on your mind - if there is something left unsaid for example. Society likes to write rules and one of them is that we only hae one chance: but that's not true. In fact, you can revisit this situaiton and still affect how you feel about it, for example by talking to other people who are involved after the fact. You can say something like, "I'm worried I didn't do the right thing when I _____. Can we talk about it?"

Well I did, and here are the after effects

Well I didn't, I took the logical route and here I am.
Often times we overanalyse things to the point that we wish we'd never done them. Maybe you are not at the regret stage yet, maybe you are at the "I could have been..." stage. Thinking up all kinds of different scenarios that could have played out had you not dated Suzy Q. or had you not gone to that tattoo parlor or had you not gone to Disney World with your niece. Whether it be a huge decision you had to make, or a minor choice, the past is the past, and we can't change it. What we can do, is mold the future.

Sometimes it's not as simple as right and wrong, there's a huge grey area in between. If you feel comfortable with the decision you made and you feel it was the best one to take then you can do no more.

It will resonate in the body, heart and mind - and time will tell the rest of the tale. Pay attention to what are the fruits, or results of the action. Learn from them.

We are always acting our best way we can based on what knowledge we possess at that certain moment. We might evolve after time and realise we could have done better, but in the past we did not have this knowledge, which means we did what we could best at that moment.

You don't. But you learn from your mistakes, and you learn to love the mistakes you've made before, because you wouldn't be you without them

You are who judges yourself and your actions, and you know yourself better than anyone, so in the end it all comes down to your personal judgement! And remember, doing the right thing isn't always the best choice, and no matter what your decision is, do not regret it, no good comes out from dwelling on the past, but instead, learn from your experiences so that you do not repeat your mistakes in the future!
