Doing something that I love to do, like programming.
The hard part is that it'd greatly reduce my quality of life in the short term (gaining paper credentials, finding a job). Along with the fact that I've never programmed as a profession for someone else, so would I even like it? etc. I've got a cushy job with great pay and retirement, but it's a lousy "legend" to live. Hard to leave, but hate to stay.
With that said it's hard to say, really, what might be concrete in improving the quality of my life. Most likely sticking with meditation for more than 3-5 sessions a year, or marrying my 4-year girlfriend.
- artmageddon 10y agoWhat are you doing now, and if I can ask, how old are you? > marrying my 4-year girlfriend. I highly recommend eloping! My wife and I did that, and hoo-boy it took so much pressure off of us(not to mention saved us a lot of money).
- tomcam 10y agoYES We did it too. Total cost of marriage: $300. How many people do you know had expensive weddings but ended up divorced and/or in debt? I have encountered plenty of people who said they wished they had much less elaborate marriages, but zero people who regretted eloping
- scrapcode 10y agoI work for the gov, and accidently moved up faster than I thought I would. Not very satisfying work, but the benefits and pay (vs an entry level dev job in my area) are unbeatable. I'm 28.
