Family? Or career? Their happiness or Your happiness...

Welcome to Mylot.. I hope you enjoy Where do you come from?

Welcome to mylot. Yes, it's a very tough decision to select between a career and family. But still one has to decide what his/her heart says as both aspects are important in life. If you ask me I have always given preference to the family and that's the reason I lack behind others. But I don't regret my decision. The decision is yours if you can afford to be behind your friends or select a career leaving behind your family.

The only advise I can think of is to ask if you are married, if so then you would need to sit down with your wife and find out what she wants and how what she wants and what you want can be combined to make both of you happy. If you are single then I would say choose the career before getting married. That way you might achieve what you wanted so that when you do marry you will have an established career and will know if the woman you want to marry can handle the kind of schedule you might have

I know how you feel. I don't know what my step-dad would say if I said I'd like to get into property investing. He's got a bit of a temper. I can imagine him saying don't be stupid. And my Mum, she probably wouldn't think I was capable. We don't need this. We need people who will encourage you and say yes, you can do it. Believe in yourself. But do I have anyone like that? I can only get that from outsiders, people who are property investors themselves or people who train in property investing.

sometimes love can make things complicated, when love confronts us with two circumstances love that confronts us with two choices of happiness, choose to be happy for family or happy with ourselves, and sometimes love prevents us from achieving what we want there is no advice for this, I'm also confused how to find a way out but I pray, at the right time later you can find an answer that satisfies your heart between these two complicated circumstances

I've also experienced things like this until now...even I often fight with my family because of this...sometimes on the one hand I want to make my family happy..but on the one hand I can't sacrifice my dreams and goals...even though this may not be good among people the general public..I finally chose my own path..pursuing my dream...and I hope this dream of mine can make my family happy one day..

Hi There. Welcome to mylot. Follow your hearts desires. Family is there to support you. You make your own life

You need to progress in your career to make a stable family and therefore you should go ahead in your career.

I think you can have two as long as you can :)

It depends on your priority, you have to assess yourself which one more important to you? Because I'm sure your family will still be proud of you once you succeed. And not wasting your life chasing and day-dreaming. You have to prove that you deserve what you envision for your life.

why not both? i'm sure there is a way to make it all work out.

Why not both?

I knew how it feels, my parents also seemed to limit my career. but when i realized it, I realized that they did it for a reason and it was for my good. I hope you can have both of them, lovely family and great career.

t's always something very confusing, but if it stresses you out please try to give them a little understanding. like a stone that if too long will erode, that's how the heart will change.

Family should come first, but they should also understand that you have things you want to accomplish, and that you will need to dedicate time to those things.
