Life is a big jumble of gray area.
Not as black and white as people believe.
It’s less about choosing two options in front of you and more about weighing multiple, sometimes infinite.
It’s a game of trade offs.
For instance in keeping your physical health, when does one push themselves at their breaking point to unleash a new level of physique or cardiovascular health and when does one stop to rest to make sure they don’t face injury?
I’ve both pushed myself and saw great outcomes, while on other occasions I’ve seen injury and pain.
So Mr. Guru who says “push yourself beyond your limits”…how would you respond to that?
In a relationship, when do you agree to compromise on a big decision and when do you decide that your lives are meant for different paths? Both mature and thoughtful decisions.
But those divorced after compromising and living a life full of regret because they did so would tell you to break things off while some who broke things off before marriage are longing for that person daily.
Something I’m dealing with is when do you push aside ‘fun’ or social activities with those you love to focus on a successful career, personal passion, or inner reflection and healing? Those aren’t necessarily exclusive, but the general idea is if you want to have a successful, fruitful career (think financial independence and no money problems) then you are definitely going to have to cut out certain family and/or friend functions. Which most gurus would scream at you to do.
While others would tell you life is about those social gatherings and on our death bed we’ll remember those times, not the number in our back account.
How do you balance the two? Both things right in some situations and both things wrong in others.
There is very little right and wrong in this life and personally I’m tired of hearing Instagram posts telling me there is.
This is not a passage telling anyone what to do or how to handle it. Because shit I don’t know.
But I do know that for myself I’ve been most fulfilled when I’ve tuned out the world to listen to myself.
To make a decision, any decision, when the gray area of life hits you. To not focus on living right or wrong, but simply living.
