Discernment: Step 8 of the Ignatian method

Discernment: Step 8 of the Ignatian method of discerning your vocation in life includes the following:  Having made your decision, imagine yourself on your deathbed. How would you feel about your decision then?  Should you be pleased or remorseful?  If you would be remorseful, something is askew.  Go back and review your reasons for making the choice you did.
