instead of asking why, ask yourself why not? There is never a more perfect time - your life becomes richer and more fruitful the more opportunities you allow yourself to have

Ask for advice. One benefit of asking for adviceā€”especially from people whose lives and choices you respectā€”is that you get to observe the situation or decision from totally different perspectives and different sets of values. You aren't asking them to make the decision for you, nor would you want that. It needs to be yours entirely. But more wise voices (within reasonable limits) may help you see with more clarity and rise above your biases. Consider asking for advice from people you respect but who you think may tell you what you don't want to hear. No need to be afraid of that. The choice is still yours. -- Also, I pay attention to my inner life: where are my emotions at as I imagine the different choices? Is there a particular lack of peace or anxiety with one or the other? That's good information.

I think continually asking why you want something can help with this. When you do, you may realize the ā€itā€ you want is rooted in other people: how theyā€™ll perceive you, if youā€™ll be accepted by them, etc. The older Iā€™ve gotten Iā€™ve been better at untangling some of my desires from the ego and I think it has lead to better self-satisfaction of where I am at and where I am going. itā€™s also allowed me to ā€let goā€ of some dreams. Thatā€™s sounds negative or sad but I donā€™t mean it so: sometimes you white-knuckle-grip an idea of yourself so hard that it destroys you! I think ā€letting goā€ doesnā€™t mean things wonā€™t happen, it means they donā€™t have to and that pressure alleviation can make all the difference. Thatā€™s not to say to never let the drive of the ego take overā€¦Iā€™m not sure we would create art/great things without it. I guess what Iā€™m saying is that knowing the root of our desires is a key to balance and self-assuredness.

the more you do the stuff you want do the more youā€™ll realise nobody around actually cares. i think that realisation is very freeing
