How can I be sure the direction I choose is right?

Question

How can I be sure the direction I choose is right?
Is it possible to be certain of one’s Dharma?
A trip I took to the United States gave me a strong sense that I should follow a particular direction, involving studying so I can help people in the future.
I feel it is right, but many people think I am mistaken. What should I do?

Master Kosen’s answer

No choice is fundamentally right or wrong.
It is up to us to make the direction we have chosen become a truth.
