Every single time I made a choice based on another's opinion or was meant to please another, rather than aligning to my core, I always ended up regretting it.

Second thing, cultivate intimacy with your inner self. Listen to your instincts throughout the day. The connection will grow stronger. Ask yourself, does this person share the same core moral values I do? And does he value the same things (to a degree) that I do. Are we going in the same direction? And do I respect him?

@@editboris Don’t regret buddy.. every mistake we’ve made has to happen in order for us to learn. We are not computers that can compute every outcome. We are human, and our brains can only do so much of that, not to mention inaccurately most of the time. Plus, as I said, you had to make that choice in order to learn a lesson that could prove valuable in the future. Imagine for example.. a man starts a small business with his entire life savings. He makes one wrong choice and the business goes bankrupt. He’s broke, he’s sad, and has nothing left. He could have been making a few thousand in profits a month. He spends the next few months working a job he hates, regretting that once choice he made, but then one of his old employees offers him a job somewhere else. Through conversation and meeting people, the man embarrassedly tells an investor about his failed business venture, and how he had plans for other businesses in the future. The investor likes the bigger plans and now gives the man a fortune to invest and try again, this time with a bigger fund than ever. The man comes to a point in the business where he’s gotta make another important choice, and this time because he failed in the past, he has learnt to not make the same mistakes. He goes about it correctly, and in some time his business is bringing in six figure profits per month. If he hadn’t made the wrong choices in the past, he would have squandered that investment and lost it all. He went through failure and made a choice he regretted, but in the end, that choice did him a lot more good than if he had chosen the alternative. Instead of a few thousand per month, he’s making hundreds of thousands in profits all thanks to his mistakes.

At 27 Carl felt an urge to leave home and forge a life for himself “while he was still young.” Sigh, it’s this kind of thinking that sucks all hope away for those who are older, like every risk you take has to be when you’re young. I’m 49, I don’t see myself as old, and I made a radical, life changing decision over a year ago. I’m currently selling everything I have, 25 years worth of my life, and I will soon be moving across the country and starting a new life. I am pursuing a dream and I left a relationship of 14 years that, though financially secure, was toxic. Being yelled at every day by a man who saw the worst in me was not the life I had envisioned for myself. I am teaching myself 2 other languages and preparing to go back to school and train for a new career. It is NEVER too late, you can always take risks and make radical changes and you don’t have to be “young” to do it (although people older than me applaud me for my move saying I’m “still young enough” to make such a change, and that makes me sad; it shows this attitude that youth is a requirement of change is one held by all age groups). I have my whole life ahead of me, I have zero regrets and I can’t wait to start a happier and more prosperous life with my 2 dogs on the east coast. Yes, it was a little more complex - I owned a home with my ex and couldn’t just hop in a car and leave, I had to wait to get bought out for my half of the house, plus I had decades of accumulated stuff I had to part with. I’m leaving with my dogs and whatever belongings will fit into my car, that’s it. It has been freeing to sell, donate, recycle and throw away decades of unnecessary purchases. The only things I am taking with me will fit into my small car. I’m also letting go of friendships with those who don’t encourage and support me. You really find out who your true friends are when you make a major change in your life. You can always make radical, positive changes, at any age, as long as you have your mind and your dreams. Don’t stay in that secure but horrible relationship with someone who no longer loves you, treasures you or gets you, don’t stay in that high paying but stressful job. You can change at any age.

It’s fatalistic to think that it’s only in youth, but i think the point is we refer to youth as “youth” because it’s a position where they are free’er than us. I’d consider you more youthful than myself who is approaching closer and closer to 30. Why? Because i can’t see a deep enough want to change myself out of my position. So you’ve got this bruh ❤️

Other choices to stay when maybe I should leave. Waiting for others to change that will not change but wanting to be with them well wanting to be somewhere else with them. But they want to be where we are and not be somewhere else. Could get any degree I want paid for by the VA and which is the best degree to choose and how will it affect my needs and wants. Will I ever have a business of my own or work for somebody else. Will I get to work with kids and old people or will I find a new love interest and leave my wife. Or will I satisfy everything on my wife's honey doo list and never have any children of my own. Would it even be ethical to have children in a world of 7.8 billion people. To stay with the wife and not leave to wonder into the wilderness or move to a new country and learn to live off the land. Is it ethical to be driving a car on a road and typing on a computer or to own a smart phone and digital currency that use insane amounts of energy. It's not ethical. I know this. It's not ethical to have children. It's not ethical to use medicine. It's unethical to eat farmed foods and to domesticate animal. It's unethical to travel by any means besides our own feet. I know this ... the choice is there to walk away from the modern world and suffer to survive ... but then that is ethical. To live and die like a wild animal.

In situations like this, it helps to ask yourself “if I make this choice, and it ends up failing, will I still be glad I made it?” If the answer is yes, then you have your decision. Decision making like this also depends on passion, and a lot of faith. Carl seems to lack that severely in both scenarios that played out, and only has the groundwork for it at the end. His friend offered him an opportunity. Not deciding is also a decision, and him not jumping on it after taking some time to reflect indicates he’s not that passionate about the idea to begin with. Ergo, he’s already made his decision. Also, Carl is limiting his life into what’s possible and what’s not. Who says that’s the only opportunity for him to move to Australia? There could be a 3rd scenario where he rises high up enough in his company and asks to be transferred to Australia, and his wife is more open to it at that point. And his wife seeing him hang out with his best friend and their kids makes her change her mind and they start their own family. Boom, he gets everything he wanted then.

They all gave me answers based on their life and their choices, they claimed I would be a good fit, disregarding my passions and dreams. I realized then that no one could make such a decision for me, despite their advices, I followed a completely different route. I am happy that I did but we need to understand that choosing one option over the other is not the end. I still make many choices and direct my course according to my values.

I am crying my eyes out... this is exactly what i am going through right now. i guess the reason why i keep on going back and forth in making the decision is that i am so desperate to make the right choice that will make me ultimately happy. I am scared that if i take on this amazing opportunity that entails me leaving everything behind even foregoing my responsibilities to my family, i would somehow still end up being miserable. I have been dreaming for so long of moving to another country that i make myself believe i will be content once i move out and live the way i want to. but as you grow older, you know that's not how life is. Perhaps i should stop romanticizing this path as the happily ever after route. "no matter what path i go, there will always be something to love and there's always be something to dread." This is the real world. Thank you so much for this :')

I feel this way too. It’s overwhelming, but I find it’s best to meditate every now and then and try to get in touch with your inner child, and understand what it really is that you want. For you, regardless of how peoples opinions have shifted your judgements. And then when you’re done meditating, come back to where you are now, and compare what you desire to where your path has led you.. it should help give you some sense of direction, and hope

The nephews and niece I left behind, they're all grown up and I wasn't there to guide them along. Communications with siblings have soured mostly, and now I don't know If I should regret my decision on leaving, but here's what I do know - career is nothing, working for a company, in an office setting where you're getting paid well but you don't love the work, affects everything around you, including relationships.

As a person that moved from the UK to Canada sherely and surely at the freedom to be my fullest self with utmost passion, never feel iit's too late. The choices and plans you're able to make to fulfil your dreams, can ultimately help in the success of that dream, considering unpredictable variables also. It's the faith that no matter what hurdles, you'll make it t:)

I think it’s important to point out that the outcomes of either decision ALSO depend on the thousands of smaller choices made every day. I think those are the most important ones because no matter what the situation is, you always have the chance to pivot and make the most of the situation. We get too hung up on the big decisions and forget that we can change our lives through small decisions too

@WoodsUlmann

8 ай бұрын

Agreed. The weird thing about the video, is that in each case, there are hundreds or thousands of decisions being made between what seem like "The Big Decisions" every single day. Those decisions, and how you view everyday life with the people around you, THAT is your life. I actually feel the video is about the opposite of what it appears to be about. The fork has many other forks and it can be endless, really, but a way of approaching life and how you react (or not, cause that's an option) to the results of either decision is what your life consists of. That approach arguably determines more of how you feel about every decision than the outcome of the decisions.

This reminds me of something someone said to me when I was a teenager trying to figure out a problem. I don't remember what the problem was. Or who said this to me. But I've never forgotten those words. They were "Wherever you go, there you are". I didn't understand it at first. But as I grew older I realized that no matter what decisions I made, I was still there. Time didn't stop for me. Problems didn't disappear. I was still there. Wherever 'there' was. I still ponder this from time to time. This video just brought that back to me.

What I took away from this: Its more important to be at peace with the choices we make than to toil over which choice was “right.” We'll never get it quite right. We'll never have enough information to make the best choice in every situation. We’re all destined to make bad choices…eventually. We always give up something when we take something else-one is not better than the other; they’re just different. In the end, it seems wisest to free yourself up to make as many different choices as you can, stay flexible, and keep moving.

@WoodsUlmann

This is exactly what I took from it. I feel like with a combination of a few different practices, such as right thought, right action from Buddhism, a bit of Taoism, and the idea that when faced with a fork on life's road, whichever path you take, even the one that appears more difficult and potentially like there's no way back, then it's the right decision. Also, inaction is action. The idea that we sit back and remove ourselves from the equation while being affected by it and not judging the effects seems totally alien to a lot of Western thought. Yet it's a freeing way to look at how not doing anything at all gives the universe room to make some of the damned decisions itself. It knows where it's going. So let it go there.

Indeed, I think that's the heart of what they're getting at. The fact that choosing one option always means rejecting another leads us to feel regret for the potential joy sacrificed by not making the "right" choice. As with the the story though, I think it's important to realize that there is no "right" choice, only choices.

A choice made by another person for you will always be wrong. If you, yourself, make the wrong choice, your sense of responsibility can help you get out of it. But if you let others do it and it goes awry, it traps you in cycles of blame that ultimately locks you in a miserable life. Great video!

I remember I was going on a walk when I randomly decided to walk in a different street. That's when I saw someone I haven't seen in a very long time. After having a conversation with him, we both went our separate ways. I thought to myself while I was walking back home "If I didn't walk down that street, I wouldn't have had that conversation with him. I wonder how many conversations I've missed and people I didn't meet because of these small decisions I make. What if I didn't choose to go a different route? What did I miss out on when I changed routes? What are some other small decisions I made in life that had a big impact like that?" There's also this scary thought that comes to my mind very often when I'm driving and someone's with me "By simply rotating this steering wheel, I can literally end my and this person's lives in a blink of an eye. Or we can have irreversible injuries. A lot of people will come to our funeral or to the hospital to visit us. So many lives will change forever if I decide right now to simply rotate the steering wheel."

This reminds me of my second boyfriend. We were stationed together in Germany. We knew each other when I was with my fiancée, but never let me know how he felt. When my fiancée wanted a kid, until our kid was a year old, the second boyfriend and I were together for three years. He finally said he loves me, loves the kid, but can’t imagine raising someone else’s kid. He wanted a relationship to be about him (I was 23-27, he was 27-31). I was disappointed I gave the rest of my youth and my sons early formative years to him, but I cared about him so thanked him for his honesty and we’ve kept in touch over the years. I’m now in my mid 40s and he’s in his late 40s. He found his Catholic roots and found himself a good girl from a southern family. And he got what he wanted I guess… she can’t have kids, so it’s always been about him. And he gets to support her because she’s not going to work! I feel kind of bad telling him about my life working in the woods, fighting fires, living overseas when my son was younger. He expressed envy when I got my pilot license during COVID because he started his as a teenager. He says he has to work work work to pay for retirement for him and his wife. I have regretted a lonely life as a single parent, and not being able to follow my dreams, but at least I have a fantastic son and good memories to show for it. I don’t dare ask him if he has any regrets, because that’s all I can sense when we talk.

Suffered through my own personal struggles like everyone else. Then I come back to the present and my 3 month old baby boy is smiling at me and seems to think I’m a pretty funny guy. If some of that stuff led me to him then I wouldn’t change anything. Life Is certainly not easy. Sometimes it’s quite painful. My only advice I suppose is just hang in there.

Only you can make yourself happy, not anything, nor anybody can do that for you." It's your choice to make. You can choose to be happy with what you have (making you grateful and happy), or you can choose to hate what you have (which can make you miserable and live with the "what if" all your life). *But that's for you to choose. You cant blame anybody because the choice is yours to stay where you at or go where you want to be.*

Carl looks at the man and sheds a tear, the man asks,”well....which is it?” Carl slowly opens his mouth and responds,”neither” The old man looks in confusion,”excuse me..?” Carl pulls out a glock and says,”nothing will work out, I’ll just be wasting my life, so why do it, why live...” Carl proceeds to put the gun to his head and blows his brains out

Taking risks vs bad choices and decisions is separate. Deciding to drink alcohol and drugs then getting hooked and going into crime for example. I have made a series of bad choices my whole life. If I didn't have my loving family I would be on the streets.. If I made good choices my life would be completely different and better off. So if you have the option to make a good choice vs bad. I would go with the good always. However I would have not learned this without making those bad choices first.

It wounds negitive but that's what I got from it too. Thinking back to the major desictions in my life I've made, I almost feel like I regret them all. I'm certain there are some I'm glad I made, but the ones that come to mind first are the "wrong" ones. Is it that when you make the right desicion, you take it for granted? You never think back years later and have regret? The way I see it as that if you're truly on the fence about something, and you're so close to just upping and starting fresh, it's always worth the risk. Worst case scenario, you end up feeling the same thing once again, but with the experience.

One day, I was driving back from work and realized there was heavy traffic up ahead. I had the choice to make either a left turn, or a right turn, to skip the traffic. Without having all the information at hand, I just took the left turn and hoped for the best, but I found myself stuck in traffic. I regretted not taking the right turn. The next day, I was driving back from work and realized there was heavy traffic up ahead. This time, I took the right turn instead thinking it would be better, but I found myself stuck in the same traffic as well. Instead of regret, I laughed.

When I was 14, I ran away from my dad & stepmoms house to live with my real mom who lived a city away. Between that time & now alot has changed for me & my sister. She has 3 kids, I have 1 on the way. I randomly get the feeling every now & then that if I would have never ran away alot of things could/would be different. My choice to run away led to all kinds of changes. My sister would have never met her children's father, who passed away in 2010. I probably would have never met my gf who is my soon to be wife. My life has been a movie so far. Anyways just thought I'd share a little piece of my life story with all of you.

@@fantasi4037 too much to put into words that I don't even know where to begin. I just know my runaway has caused alot of changes in people's lives around me. I hope I'm not sounding selfish by saying that but I feel like it's TRUE. If I never had runaway, my sister would have never met her late bf. I would have never met my future wife. My brothers & sisters lifes would probably have been different since when I came back in the picture it brought all my brothers & sisters closer again. My mom has 9 kids. Before I started living with my mom again, everyone was distant living in different parts of the city. When me & my sister came back in the picture people started coming around, most started even living with my mom. If you really wanted to hear my lifes story I would have to tell u in person. It's too complicated to put it all in text form. I just hope me running away was the right decision. I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I'd never have ran away. Would I be more successful? Would I have killed myself if I continued to live with my dad & evil stepmom? Idk. All I know is I'm happy that I did runaway. Because I'm having a baby girl on the way. & right now she is my everything. Hope you all have a wonderful blessed day.

I wondered that too at first, but then I began entertaining the thought that the old man in the park can be understood as a manifestation of the devil at the crossroads. (The thumbnail has a person standing at what appears to be a crossroad.) Carl sells his soul to the devil by giving up the personal responsibility of making his own choices. That said, in this story the “devil” isn’t evil, he’s actually good and uses unorthodox supernatural means to help Carl become more wise (I’m going to assume it was all real and not just a dream). In this interpretation, the old man is a very untraditional version of the devil. It’s so untraditional that the old man could actually turn out to be a good angel or even God himself.

@vittxrio5198

@@dasMobius Interesting insight. Metaphorically, the Devil at the Crossroads / The Old man is actually himself as well. If there's someone that can hinder you, mostly it was you. We are too anxious about anything to the point we don't have clear judgement to make not the "right" decision, but the right decision for ourselves. In fact, we can never tell if it's right or wrong until the events were unfold, not until we see the consequences. I'm not a religious person, does not believe at all, however your interpretation with the old man being God is interesting. This only implies that everything that happened here happen for some reason (until it wasn't). We were forced to believe that we were tied to some sort of web, no matter what our actions, it still comes to particular set of endings. It fits the description of the old man being the Godhead as he says "Why don't you find it yourself" after being asked why did he choose that. This simply states that even Godhead wouldn't interfere with us humans, thus the concept of human will.

Thank you for this video, I was in very similar situation like Carl few months back choosing to leave the home country or stay with loved ones, the best advice I got was to decide on my own, and never look back. It has been difficult to follow through but hey that is the life.

Made me tear up just a little bit. For someone who's out of their home country, I can truly resonate with Carl's circumstance. Now having to listen to the video, I say it added some comfort in every decision "I" make based on my own experience.

I thought the old man was just himself, knowing both outcomes.

This is actually called the crossroads and to come to the crossroads u need a crisis it is very difficult to find a door into the labyrinth without a crisis. It's also known as the Hanged Man Tarot card which u can see allover Google if u look it up . It means initiation is inverted .. In the Fallen World we are in the world of Time and winning to enter into the labyrinth u have to lose and throw down ,become inverted as the spiritual world Time does not exist . To get in u have to lose!!!!!! I found a way in by being in a crisis I was offered 2 choices , I maintained control chose neither but chose the spiritual path which than led me to have visions and start my initiation which spirit led me too . Culminating 15 years later in me making contact with my HGA my Holy Guardian Angel and having k and C knowledge and conversation as per the religion Thelema I'll leave a link. I used altered states to do it . If u can't have ure own crisis a coven or order will start one for u thru symbols and rituals. . The end result is I found my True Will and now I'm on a current but it was brutally hard path

In the Fallen World most worship and perform for mortals . Spiirt holds Time and Death we are only to worship spirit and spirit will guide us thru visions, dreams, magick will happen to u to guide u on ure quest . Again if ure at a point of crisis u are lucky if u can maintain control and pick the higher path spiritually, u will be guideded into the labyrinth and there ure quest will begin. We are mostly in beta and alpha brainwaves to get in u need to hit into theta brainwaves which only children are in . Theta can be reached by drumming, trance , dance etc thru that u can work ure initiation. To get into the kingdom of heaven we must be like little children , Christ wasn't talking about being like a child he was talking about being in theta
