even if you may face repercussions, somewhere in your heart you may feel a tingle or a sense of warmth that in some way, may it be great or small, you benefited someone else.

Even if it doesn't work out where everyone is happy, even if you are not happy at the moment, the right thing is knowing what is best in the long run. If you see it as what is right, it probably is. Just think carefully!

By asking yourself exactly what you did, thinking of the outcomes of the situation and thinking of how either you or others reacted to the thing that you did. Think of how it will impact your life in the near future.

The thing about doing the right thing is how we feel after we do it, On the inside you will always feel a certain way about certain actions, and that's how you will know if you did the right thing, that feeling you get on the inside will let you know.

I would suggest, you make your choices built from your heart and your experience. If you have been able to put fear aside in choosing what you did, and think it through, it will prove to have been a good healthy choice for you.

When you feel accomplished and happy, you have done the right thing. That is because you understand, as a person that only you know what is right or wrong in your life. Don't let others tell you it is the wrong thing.

Whatever you start has to come from the heart. The "right thing", comes from a place of wisdom.
And wisdom is derived from experience.
I'll give you a clear example:
At one stage of my life, I loved so much fitness that I thought I would become a personal trainer.
I was well off to an excellent start. My grades were excellent.
But when I started 1 on 1 training, I felt a disconnect. I preferred the science of training rather than being a trainer.
The right path, can be a hobby or passion. But is preferably tested in the real world first.
The same goes on with someone wanting to be a public speaker, but realizing he is stressed speaking in public; or a trainer unwilling to train people.
Both have the will, but they are going against themselves.
Choose a path that looks like you. I would love to help you more specifically, if you need further assistance

Look inside yourself. Are you a better person for it? Did you grow from it? Did it help? Do you feel better for doing it? Sometimes we have to make personal choices that end up affecting others, and that can make us feel guilty. That's understandable, but was our goal to help us grow, or was it to cause other's harm? These are all questions I believe can help you decided if what you did was the right thing. Ultimately, I think you're the only one who's able to answer that question.

Accessing situations from an objective eye can be hard at first. Emotions can lead people to do rash things. Rash actions can cause stress and anxiety and doubt. Look objectively at situations. And also realize that no actions are set in stone. What's right and wrong for other may not be the same for you. Dont doubt what has no clear answer
