I absolutely hate making choices. I am never 100% satisfied with my choice, ever. Considering life is FULL of choices big and small, it makes for a very stressful and doubting existence. Many say.. "Why don't you weigh the pros and cons?" That is easier said than done. How do you measure you own personal happiness verses the logical choice?
I see people every day who pick personal happiness over money, material items, or paying of their debts. They appear to enjoy life and not feel controlled by their paycheck. But I always question if they are truly happy, or if they are putting on a brave face.
The people who have a mortgage, and car payments, and credit cards seem more stressed out and miserable, but they typically have nicer things. Even though they have a steady paycheck, most of it goes to paying their bills. They usually belong to the whiners and complainers category, I happen to be one of them.
So what do you do, chose the road less travelled and hope that you be happy? Or do you chose stability and go on living hoping that one day your perseverance and hard works pays off, bringing you happiness?
Life in general is easier said than done. I can say all day long that I will go with happiness and live with minimal things but the truth is if I could I would buy myself happiness. Maybe we all just need to make more to be happy or just be happy with what we are given? That would be something! But then life would be lame.
