As a young adult I noticed the world was ripe with options. So many options no matter what direction you looked. How do you know what to choose? How do you know what’s best? What is the best for you and how do you know that if you do choose something something better isn’t supposed to be there? The problem with too many options if the field is too wide is it can cause hesitation and indecision. Consider choosing a path or a career or a job, a major in college. Some young adults are simply not ready to make that choice yet they are thrust into the arena to make the choice. It’s important to know that by not making a choice at all this is actually making a choice.
When making a decision is uncomfortable not making a decision becomes comfortable. If you wait too long the realization will be there to hit you square in the face and remind you that life is starting to pass you by. Your own indecision based on the field being too wide is now closing in on you. What started out as too many options now feels like there are few. Is it too late to finally find a job that makes you happy? Is it too late to finally think about marriage? Is it too late to finally ( fill in the blank)? No. As long as you are here you can do it. Take time if you need it but be productive in the time you take. If not, 5 years becomes 10. 10 becomes 15 and next you aren’t young anymore. To just assume you’ll figure it out later is not enough. It’s important to be proactive during any pauses. Otherwise time, life and even golden opportunity may pass you by.
