This week marks my twenty-##### birthday…
With a twenty-something birthday coming up, it’s only natural to question what you’re doing with your life. It’s kind of cliché though. Like a TV show…
Sometimes figuring out who you are and who you’ll become is melodramatic, like Felicity. Sometimes it’s awkward and funny, like Glee. Here’s hoping my quarter-life crisis is Gleeful, filled with catchy pop tunes, a little bit of dance and sarcastic humor.
As the Glee trophy says, “By its very definition, glee is about opening yourself up to joy.” Some people follow their passions, regardless of financial insecurity or social expectations. Will Schuester chose the glee club and teaching over being an accountant. Happiness won over money in this narrative.
However, others value wealth and/or prestige as the prevailing objectives and do jobs they don’t like. I have plenty of buddies who eagerly go through the hazing process that is law school - the Socratic Method, class rank, law review, etc. - to gain a $160,000 big law firm job. Hopefully, the rewards make up for the sacrifice.
As I ponder my life - what I really want and how to achieve it – I want to know your perspective. Let’s call it your birthday present to me. Tell me: What are “good life choices?”
