I have had a tough childhood, as my parents retired at an early age and my mom gets brain stroke -my middle years have been a mixed bag, 20 years of which have been extremely tough ridden with failures & clinical depression. Some years have been unimaginably good when I have seen miracles happening. Earn a lot but younger brother loooted me like anything - fraud, 420, liar, many many irregularities with my hard earned money - looting me with one hand and other hand investing the same money in chitfund - finally it was exposed invested around 2 million indian rupees although never works in his life all depend upon me and my other brother who is working abroad
If I had a choice I would choose option 4 so that I can grow & learn everyday. Now I do admit I feel I can only learn & grow if life gets tougher. I am stuck in this pattern. I am hard on myself & enjoy making it tougher for myself. When you see too many troubles in life you start to think this is normal.
But if I had to choose an easier option it would be option 3 a good retired life, as we grow older we may not have the physical energy to battle through life.
What about you?
