For past couple weeks, I've been struggling with planning my life going forward.
Oh yeah, when did I not have such struggle? Probably when I was 5. After I grew up, those period was probably when I a fresh in college, and maybe during the 1st semester of sophomore year.
Recently, I have been seriously thinking about reaching out to a new opportunity - that is, not really looking for a new job, but looking for a new opportunity as in doing something meaningful, whether it's starting a new business, going on a mission trip, or maybe applying to Air Force.
The problem comes in when I start 'calculating' cost, simply the effort I put in vs the money I'll be making.
I'm not very cash-greedy, but I hate being short on money for living. While the food is a must-expense I can negotiate on everything, from clothing to car to how many times I hang out with friends and so on.
Then I realized that I'm not going after the new opportunity I'm seeking because I was afraid. I start thinking too much about the opportunity cost and risk, then of course the thougt dies away and repeats itself several months later.
Maybe I'm looking for something perfect while I don't know the meaning of perfect, believing that there could be a 'better' one.
Maybe next time when I come up with an idea I will just start it and see what happens.
What a life...
Cheers!
