Every conscious moment involves decisions, and we must approach them with responsibility, research, and clarity rather than flippancy or emotion. The Torah presents a clear choice: “See, I have placed before you today life and good, death and evil… choose life.” Rabbi Wolbe urges thorough investigation before deciding on major life questions: How should I honor my parents? How do I maintain honesty in business? How do I care for humanity? Does God exist? Is there an afterlife? Do we have free will? Don’t act as a lawyer defending preconceived notions — be a judge seeking truth. Admit “I don’t know” when appropriate; it is a sign of wisdom. Only you determine your life path — take ownership and make changes where needed. Decisions shape destiny. Be deliberate, rational, and aligned with Torah values rather than rushing or defaulting to convenience. This way builds on earlier themes of balance, a good heart, and knowing your place, emphasizing thoughtful action as the foundation for a maximized, meaningful life. _____________ Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on June 17, 2022, in Houston, Texas.
