You get a text inviting you to go on a commune. Say you’ve graduated university, and one day you’re at a stop light.

#Big life decisions full

You made a life decision without regret and got to live a full and happy existence. You live until you’re 83 and die happy.Īll of this happened because you took that random chance, deviated from the set path, and clicked on a link. You always have enough to live comfortably and save, you visit your family for all major holidays, and you have children that love you. While there, you meet the love of your life and move to a farm in Bulgaria to raise goats with them. You wrap up your open bills, say your goodbyes, and head off. You decide to click the link, and register. You’ve always wanted to go on a commune, but never got the chance to. There are so many other possibilities that are out there for us to explore, but for the majority of people who dare to explore, they let this cloud of regret stain every choice. You retire, start doing the things you want to do, and then you die.Īnd it’s not a bad dream. You work a 9-5, you hate your job, but you know you have to work long enough to make it to retirement age. If you’re a man, nothing really changes, you continue to work like normal. If you’re a woman, you should ideally stop working and raise the family for a few years, if not the rest of your life. You find someone, get married, trade in your bachelor pad and hot rod for a white picket fence and a minivan. Guidelines that tell us to make lifelong decisions before we hit our 20s.That create stigma around changing your major.That tell us that the best life experiences are linear and predictable.įor example, you graduate high school, then go to university. Our society is built on restrictive guidelines. When was the last time you regretted a decision that you were once really excited about? Or made a decision and thought of all the things you could do when it doesn’t work, instead of what you will do once it does? “You could do everything wrong for the next 10 years of your life and be young as f*ck.” - Gary Vaynerchuk
