What Would They Do?

Three people whose judgment you trust, side by side: what each would do in your situation, and whether you can actually do it.

How to use this sheet
  1. Name three people you have known whose values are close to yours and who made decisive choices in line with them. Fictional works if you know the character well.
  2. For your situation, answer for each person in turn: what would they do? In their voice if it helps.
  3. For each answer, ask honestly: can I actually do that, now, with who I am and what I have?
  4. Read the three side by side. Where they agree, take it seriously. Where they diverge, note what each path would cost and protect.
