I've made countless decisions in my life, really great ones and some that have not turned out quite to plan. With those that didn't work out, I rarely felt good however as I gained more understanding of life and myself specifically, I began to realise that making a decision that doesn't ultimately work out isn't all bad, lessons can be learned.
Another thing I learned was that failing to make a decision can often go much more wrong as it doesn't allow an opportunity to develop, a problem to be solved or situation resolved and not making a decision means one can't learn from that decision going wrong if it happens to.

My guy and I are decision makers meaning we don't avoid them; we are good at evaluating, seeing from all angles and perspectives, or as many as possible, and moving on it, coming to a decision then proceeding. This doesn't happen without proper thought and consideration, we just don't procrastinate. I think one of the reasons is that we know, understand and live our values.
Whether it's a decision to change career paths, a business matter, moving house, make or not make investments, around whether to discard a person from our lives, where to vacation, what to buy...even a pair of boots, we remember what's important, stick to our values and overall plan and then decide from there. (For the record, I didn't buy the pair of boots in the image, but wanted to.)
Being able to evaluate situations, to determine them as part of the big picture, is important, and it's equally important to stay committed to decisions we make but flexible too, able to pivot one way or another if needed; that's what helps us make the best of the decisions we make.
