jan 1, 2091 - A Life of Choosing Bliss over Risk (Stage 8: Ego Integrity v. Despair)
Description:
When I am a much older adult, if my life follows the rough outline that I envision for it, I will feel a sense of fulfillment in that I accomplished my goals. I want to feel loved and accepted, and if I work with kids while surrounding myself with a family of my own, I will accomplish that.
The one thing that I do not think about with regard to my future is adventure. My “dream life” is living in a nice neighborhood with a wife and a couple of kids, all of whom I love. I often picture myself choosing bliss over risk, which could lead to a slight sense of regret (because there were things that I never did and won’t be able to try at that stage in my life).
