If Decisions Were Easy, Would Everyone Make Them?

| 2 Comments

I read in the Guardian, a year or so ago, about a sociologist who was doing research into indecision. His basic conclusion was that people these days had too many choices. I agree. How much easier if I had been apprenticed into carpentry at twelve - by now I would be making some pretty damn fine wardrobes. Instead I have the distraction of choosing between a job offer at my previous employment in London, or staying in the Czech Republic and seeing where the wind takes me. In a nutshell, it's guaranteed money and financial security versus chasing the dreams I've had since I was an ankle-biter. It's an easy decision in an ideal situation... but if the world was perfect, how bored would we be?

Well as someone who once had to choose between continuing a safe but tedious job in radio broadcasting and sailing across the Pacific, I can honestly say I am now a firm believer in going for the wackiest decisions possible. They don't always end up being the most lucrative but, hell, they give you a sense of achievement that no one can ever take away. Go for the dreams I say......

Thanks for the support/advice Sue. At the moment I'm heavily leaning towards doing so - making the wacky-ish decision, that is. I've given myself to the end of the month before I publish my final decision to the concerned parties.
