One thing. It was about my career but it might be helpful here.
I wanted to do a certain job and live in a very expensive place. I had my heart set on it. Spent years in school. One parent was extremely against it. Said that it would be the biggest mistake of my life.
So frustrating. What does this parent know about me? Seriously it was negative and I had to listen to my heart for direction.
Finally after graduating my parent helped me buy a ticket to this expensive place so I could visit the further schools and look at housing. I saw it. I felt it. I investigating. Researched. Enjoyed being there.
And I came home and thought about it. What it meant to live there. What my days would be like. How that would impact the rest of my life. Would I even have time for marriage? To exercise? To have a life outside of work? Who would I be working with? Plus the stress.
And I / decided not to pursue it anymore.
I decided that I wanted to pursue another way of life. A life that would allow me to have balance and healthy priorities.
That changed everything. It was my choice. I changed my mind because I changed. It wasn’t my parent’s decision. It was my own. It was right for me to see for myself.
I think that here you need to see for yourself. If it’s good for you then it’s good for you. If not then you can adapt. I think here it’s important to make sure that you won’t have regrets.
What’s the point of listening to them and them wondering in the back of your mind, what if?
They want what’s best for you. That’s why they want you to wait. You need to find what’s best for you too.
And you will find that B”H.
