Standing At The Fork In The Road

The path of least resistance:
Focus on making good money, have a secure job, buy a house, buy a car, live for the weekend, work for the man – even if you’re uninspired, trapped and aggravated, save up money to retire and enjoy life then. In the meantime buy lots of stuff, concentrate on building relations, networks. Come office, seat on your table, insulate yourself from the outside world, that office is your whole world, go back to sleep. Repeat cycle daily.

The path of great resistance:
Live now, enjoy your work, work for yourself, don’t buy a car – walk to work, ride your bike, take the train, invest in yourself what you value more which is a lifestyle, by loving your work the week becomes the weekend and the weekend is just another night. Work is your play. Be exposed to the intricacies of the natural world, to people, to life flowing all around you. Smile and take action.

I feel crazy of myself for choosing the harder path and sometimes think that there’s something wrong with me for not chasing the money-house-job complex.
I know it in my heart that very soon I will have to make a decision…I will have to choose & the only way to move forward is to pick one and start walking. Presently, I am neither here nor there kind of situation.
Because of the weight and impact of the moment, and limited preview of each option, I find myself completely paralyzed at the head of the fork unable to execute and make a decision.
Internal navigation system seems to be jammed too.
I don’t understand why is it became so important for me to do what makes sense, is practical or what everyone thinks one should do…
