The Simple Choices

The everyday choices in life become simpler when a decision is made to settle for nothing less then spectacular. When a student attends high school and he or she wants to go to one of the best colleges in the U.S., the decision is simpler then a mediocre student anticipating a position at mediocre college. The decision is much more complicated for the second example student then the first, because the choices offered to those who demand a seat at the top are very few.
The same is true when making a decision to retire thirty-five years early. The decision to live fearlessly becomes simple. The decision to try hard every day becomes simple, and the decision to actually follow through and take those leaps of faith is simple. It simply must be done. Although the option to get a real nice and cozy job where mediocrity is protected is always an option for those who want to work till 65.
