How to figure out what you should be doing with your life
By Penelope Trunk

" So the final step of finding out where you should be is looking at everyone's life with a clear lens. Adult life is really hard. Finding out who we are, and finding someone to share our life with, and having kids and still having a life, and being able to pay for all of that: Impossible, really.

So you look around and see who is doing what part of that well. And you pick the sacrifices that they made. Because no life is perfect, but all lives have some things to offer. Be clear on what you're choosing and what you're giving up, and don't pick anyone's life if they tell you they have everything: they're lying. "

Hi, I'm Jhieisms. And I'm a Pokerholic.

Remember how I was complaining of not having enough time to do things that I've always wanted to do? Well, here's an update. A not-so-good update:

I just spent the entire weekend playing poker online.

I never stepped out of the house. Barely had time to sleep and eat. And I fed my fishes this morning saying, "Ok guys, here's your food, all in!"

I need help.



My thoughts exactly...

"Some people love to improvise. Others prefer to stick to the recipe. You can be pretty spontaneous when the mood takes you and the situation seems appropriate. But right now, you want a few more 'fixed points of reference' in your world. You are keen to lay down some ground rules or establish some agreed definitions. Do you have a right to ask for more commitment and consistency? Yes. Indeed, you don't just have a right; you have a pressing need. How can anyone play a good game if the goalposts keep moving? "
