I can’t choose!

[John3596]

I have tried many things in the past seven years. I feel like I have stopped them or changed direction, but I don’t think it’s because the initial “motivation”  decreased and I get lazy, more so because I try these things and they just don’t click. I’m not that passionate about them or they don’t align with my more basic values. I have heard advice saying to figure out what you were interested in as a child, and I located many of those things. The question is how to be decisive, and keep the decision and not keep thinking about the grass being greener on the other side?

I get what you're feeling, but sometimes it takes longer than seven years.

Tell me all the things you've tried and what you haven't tried yet.

It's all about hitting the sweet spot between what you value versus what's in demand.

I got 2 degrees in a science field only to hate the work and try 3-4 other completely different things before settling on something I like.

Sometimes that's the way it is.
