However, having ambitions and being open to change as your life develops is, I believe, vital. The bills need to be paid and life can’t always be experienced with a philosophy of ‘living for the moment’. Of course, a degree of direction and stability is vital. The pressure that results from all of this often means that ‘the life list’ becomes longer and more rigid, removing any sense of fluidity of direction and increasing mental strain. It seems that, for my generation, we expect or are expected to be high achievers in every ‘area’ of life – career, relationships and gaining that apparently oh so important first step on the property ladder. When you set out in your early adult life it is tempting to establish goals or to second guess the direction in which your life might head.
