Hard choices, easy life

 Throughout my adult life, I have been thinking about the choices that made me the person I am today, from choosing my career path to moving to another job. These decisions always had an impact on long term of my life.

 And this is not something that you inherently know, but you must experience by yourself. When I was a teenager, I was not aware that life can turn complicated when you choose to make easy decisions. Although my parents and teachers always taught me that sacrifice is required if you want to succeed.

Thinking about my future was not something I spent my time and energy on. Whenever an important decision was looming, I hoped until last time to take action. That was the reason I ended up deciding on my current career. Because I was afraid of making a bad decision and ruining my life, so I spent my time daydreaming instead of working on it.

It was not until the last few years that I realized that I needed action and planning if I wanted to improve both, my career and life. The 30s crisis was real, the fear of stagnation and loss made me aware that I needed to focus on what matters to me, even though it meant saying goodbye to many things.

Now, I look back at my early twenties and see how dumb I was, but those mistakes and wins made me the person I am today. Although I am aware that I have a lot of work to do I think I am in a good way to accomplish my goals.
