A family member of mine has been stuck in a rut for quite some time now. I would really like to see her succeed at something she puts her mind to, but she is paralyzed by indecision and the fear of choosing the wrong thing.
She’s having trouble finding a job, but she also doesn’t really know what kind of a job she’d actually like to have. I realize that she’s stuck in a difficult holding pattern; it’s hard to get what you want when you don’t even know what you want.
However, I wish she would just choose something and try it. I think that through trial and error you can find out what you’re good at and what you’re not so good at, and you can figure out what you really want along the way. But that’s only my opinion and family concern only goes so far. I know she has to figure things out for herself. I just wish that ultimately she is the one who decides what life path to take and that life does not get to decide for her.
