Happiness in your 20's
I've totally been thinking about what I want out of life lately. Not only b/c of the new job and needing to move (thought I admit that that has been the major motivating factor in this train of thought) - really it comes down to me second guessing my choice. I always second guess myself (I mean - what happens if I was wrong... it happens ... though I won't admit it in an argument - b/c I am always right!)
After some serious (read: 20 seconds) of thought - I've realized that being in your 20's is the time to decide what is right for your life. There are many roads to reach the same destination. Some are more direct - but much harder. Some are long and winding and scenic; while others are long boring and then all of a sudden you are there. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I feel like I should be having fun, trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, not just trying to reach a goal. The goal should be the journey not the destination. So I need to stop treating it like a destination. I should be having fun with my life. But I'm not. So I'm really glad I'm doing something and making a change.
It might not be the right change. I'll probably have some "tweaking" to do. But ultimately I should be searching for happiness in life - not just how to make the most money, or get married the fastest, or have the most prestigious career. I wanna be happy with life.
That why one of the guys I work with and I are going to open a strip club. Why not? It'd be fun. Who cares if it's not the most prestigious line of work. Seedy? Absolutely. Fun factor? ++++ I'm not seeing a downside. I think his wife might kill him if she found out what we were plotting.
