What is a World-View?

A World-view is your personal model of the world. It comprises your beliefs, your knowledge, and your assumptions about the world.

As your world-view changes, you see the world differently, and therefore your responses to situations and circumstances also alter.

"I have met the jailer and he is I.
We are all trapped by our own world-view."

How do we reconcile decisions made in the past with our world-view of the present?

The best you can do here is to ensure quality decision making processes are employed in making your decisions. This does not guarantee that you've made the 'right' decision, however, it does mean you're likely to have made the best decision you could at the time based on the information and knowledge available to you at that time.

How do we make those important decisions to ensure that they remain viable into the future?

All the decisions you make throughout life are based on the values you hold at the time you make the decision. Your values change when your worldview changes.

Say you experience a significant emotive event that completely changes your worldview, then if you had made a decision before that event, and are now faced with that same decision you will make it differently because you now have different priority values.
