The balance of long term happiness vs short term goals is something my wife and I check in on pretty regularly. We live in a place that we love and that suits our lifestyles, but limits our career opportunities.
Trying to balance the needs and aspirations of our family, with financial security and integrity based career decisions is a delicate process. I think we feel like we're constantly rebalancing.
I completely agree about the constant balance and financial security, it’s something I’m still working on myself. The rising cost of everything is making everything harder at the moment.
It’s great to hear you live in a place you love and are clear on your career decisions/family aspirations, hopefully the opening up of flexible and remote working opportunities will help with some of the career limitations.
People with integrity often have barriers even intentional from conformist people. But I really like to think like this: All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle. ― St. Francis of Assisi
How great is Buckminister Fuller: You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model That makes the existing model obsolete.
