Our Generation and choices --something to think about I guess

We have been achievers and have done so well professionally and yet when it comes to personal choices we have tried to set almost the same precedence as our professional life. What I mean to say is that we have had a set of rules to make our choices. We always wanted to make the exact choices or lets say best possible choices based on those rules and not bend any of them. In the process I believe that, our personal lives have taken a back seat/beating.
We have forgotten that "Life" is not just the set of choices made but it is also about the way we adhere to them and shape those choices once made rather than thinking that there is always an another choice to begin with. What if that choice also leads to the same challenges? Dont you think we should rather stick to the choices made and work towards them? Why are we as a generation thinking of easier ways out which will mostly eventually hurt us as an individual.
There is so much of a need for our generation of "Dying hearts" to realize, introspect and think again. We are doing great in our professional lives but at what cost? Is it worth? Are we lagging behind in our personal lives? Do we really need lessons for the balance? Are we arrogant that when it comes to it we will balance it anyway and then end up going wrong costing a lot?
