Trust is the keyword in this quote. You truly have to trust in yourself. Until then you cannot know if you are making the correct decisions. If you trust yourself, even if the decision does not achieve the desired outcome, the trust you had, makes it a lesson to learn from and you move forward to a better outcome.
