text: First, you should consult multiple people because they can have different perspectives. One person might see the situation one way, while another could view it in a completely different light. For example, when I was trying to decide between running cross country or playing soccer, I asked my friends. Since they both had different relations to the sports, they had conflicting opinions about which sport I should choose. They both gave excellent points for the different sports, and, in the end, had a large impact on my decision. Even if the people you talk to have different viewpoints, they can still give you valuable information that is key to making your decision.
