QOD: What Or Who Influences Your Critical Decisions?

Are you in control of your life? Yes, God first but after him, are you in charge?

I have watched friends, family and associates being influenced by partners, parents, friends and which have made them to make so many wrong decisions.

Even though, some issues are better shared in order to see the situations from others perspective yet some are so important to be made alone.

The Who part are people , friends, families
The What part are drugs, Alcohols, Smoking

As for me, I just need my space, food, internet and TV cable. Something must surely be learned that will influences most of my critics decisions

So what/who influences most of your critical decisions ?
