Multiple choices. I've previously talked about my disdain for having too many options on the table. Most times when this happens no choice is eventually made, or a late decision that has low odds of being a good one. Yet I'd be the first to admit that the extreme opposite, which is having zero options is even worse. What that means is that I've come to an understanding with the options I do have. I have embraced them as the luxury they are.
A younger me (say 5-10 years ago) probably was too arrogant with the choices at my disposal. I had dreams of being and multiple things at once but sometimes I feel like I ended up not chasing any of those desires with the energy that they deserved. It isn't like I have stayed ignorant of the passing of time, I think rather it is the feeling of invincibility when we're riding the waves of options at our disposal. No-one ever wants to believe that all good things eventually come to an end, especially if they're not well maintained.
I've also realized that no only are options a rather handy privilege, but we need to keep fighting to sustain them. We basically decide with the current options at our disposal if we want to keep having them or not. Of course the answer may seem straightforward at first glance, but when it comes to actionable steps needed to move in that direction the answer may be quite different from what we expect. Many of us simply don't have the stamina to keep operating at a level that generates a constant flow of options for us. Alternatively we could make the best decisions while we still have variety to put us in a satisfactory position regardless of how the future plays out.
That's always the big question, how things will eventually play out. Nobody ultimately knows, but I bet many of us believe certain choices would've put us in much better positions than current, myself included
