Too Many Options

Over the last few weeks, perhaps months, I’ve been faced with a challenge. I’ve got too many options. I, as well as everyone, have felt overwhelmed. I’m not entirely sure of specific reasons for everyone else, but for myself, it feels as if I have too many choices. Too many things seem possible.

Years ago my youngest brother said sarcastically, “I’m glad I’m not as smart as you. You’ve got too many choices.” He’s continued in his chosen career for many years while I’ve switched multiple times. In fact, my current career path is the only one I’ve stayed with for over five years. Others do one thing and stick with it the entirety of their working lives, while I have been in so many careers and jobs within those careers, I would have to sit for at least an hour to list each position, company, and industry.

I’m currently faced with the same decisions I’ve made years ago. Other things are seeming more appealing and I’m left wondering if I’ve been approaching the problem from the wrong angle. I’m currently wondering if my approach should be amended. I’m currently faced with too many options. It’s time to make a decision, because not deciding is deciding.

Today, Wednesday, March 29, 2023, I am grateful that:

I got a chance to spend and think about my folks. It’s been years since we’ve spoken. It’s interesting that so many years after their deaths I still think of them daily. Same for my brothers. It’s great to be able to remember them without reliving.

I’m getting a few offers for contracts. I only have one and it’s small, but it’s better than nothing. This tells me that if I don’t make some massive changes in the next few days, it’ll be a lean couple of weeks coming.

I got two more invites to interview for contracts. I accepted and now we wait, interview, and I can hopefully start later this week.

Are you able to narrow down your choices?

How do you make your selections?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
