I wonder what actually qualifies as a big life decision. Something that dramatically changes or effects the course of ones life maybe? At this age, or stage in life, I feel like they come at you at every turn. But maybe that is just how it comes off to someone who hasn’t made a lot of big life decisions. Its interesting to read books and watch movies based on being this age or in this stage of life, at whatever age it comes to you. These types of media give you a perspective on how ultimately important your “big life decisions” really are. It can almost be comical to watch others deal with there issues. There’s something external that brings you down to earth and gives you perspective, when watching it on television or reading about it in a book. The hard part comes when you have to siphon out the comical aspects from the serious in your own big life decisions, and honestly weigh them for what they really are. How big of an effect is it going to have on you? Can you still what you want to do? What do you really want to do… Thinking about these big life decisions is a lot like climbing a tree. You have an end goal, but by the time your half way there, your hands are worn, your legs are tired and you’re not really sure why you decided to try it in the first place. As you think about this you come to a split on the tree trunk. One branch looks sturdy but extends out horizontal, while the other branch continues up, doesn’t look quite as sturdy, but in going vertical seems to get you closer to your end goal. Which branch would you choose? Think quick cause I’m stuck up in this tree and can only pick one.
