This one I call 'The Life Regret Test'. Or maybe 'The Rocking Chair Test'.
So, you are faced with many choices, on a day-to-day basis. And each of these choices add up to life directions. And some of these life directions are just what you are hoping for. And some are not. Some might even seem like a backwards move.
You know, that job that you took that turned out to totally suck, the boss who had no morals, and the client who was the devil's spawn. That type of bad choice. But...you have to pay the bills, maybe this is all you can get, maybe its all you are good enough for...?
Or the little choices...do you have a hissy over that thing that he said, because it is just so wrong and disrespectful? Well, maybe.... How to tell?
And this is where the Life Regret Test comes in. It works like this:
Imagine you have survived and made it all the way to 90. Sitting in your rocking chair contemplating your life. Is this 'thing' that you are wondering about, did it turn out to be important? Do you regret making a decision this way? Or what about if you make it the other way?
Some things will turn out to be totally meh, of no consequence at all, probably not worth even stewing over. Some will be huge - that job you might stay in, or not - and have large impacts. Others will be acts of love, or ego - your choice. Which will you be most proud to remember as a 90 year old? Which will register on your Life-Regretometer?
