So when making a decision, should I only consider the equity of hitting the next card? Like if I have a flush draw and about 35% equity to win the hand at showdown and a guy bets pot on the flop should I fold? Because I only have about 18% chance to hit on the turn.

In that type of situation, you go by your outs and implied odds (which you'll have to estimate on your own).
