Thanks for this. Yes, being content is probably a better goal than being 'happy.' If you can feel the latter, then great, but being just OK is definitely something to aim at I think.

Thanks. Yes it's hard but I'm so pleased that he has been thinking these things through for himself.

Wow, this reminds that being a kid means making choices, having so many things to choose from, that it must feel overwhelming at times to choose one thing, to the exclusion of others, as well as decide what to let go. It's tough being the parent of a teenager, isn't it?

malcolm,
When we become adults there are moments in our life when we have to take stock of what is going on and decide which choices are the better ones...What maturity this one shows! Blessings...

It is always good to keep the options open.
Satisfaction is a good thing these days.

I think it is the pressure to preform that makes what we love burdensome. Good insight.
