Remove Yourself From the Question
The Baal Shem Tov taught that when a decision is clouded, the first step is to set aside one's own benefit and honor.
On the verse "the matter that is too hard for you, bring it to me" (Devarim 1:17), the Baal Shem Tov passes on a piece of advice he heard in the name of the Ramban, who told his son how to act when a doubt arises about what to do or whether something is a mitzvah. The danger lies in matters from which a person benefits, because then the mind goes looking for a reason to permit what is forbidden. So first take your own benefit and honor out of the question, and only then weigh both sides. Then Hashem will let you know the truth, and you will go forward securely. The Besht reads the verse this way: why is the matter hard for you? Because your own gain has entered it. Set that gain aside and bring the question to Me, meaning, do it purely for Heaven, and Hashem will give you the understanding of how to act.

Before making a decision today, especially one where you are unsure what is right, ask yourself quietly: what do I gain from each answer? Notice whether comfort, pride, money or convenience is leaning on the scale. Then picture the same choice with those benefits removed, and ask what Hashem would want. For a real halachic question, take it to a rav. For everyday choices, this one honest pause can make the path much clearer.
