Too many choices are like illusions, you have to figure that out which one is real. But, sometimes we take a wrong turn and regreat afterwords.
We always lose sight or the sense of direction when there is a open field to walk on.

Life used to be simpler - as for "wants" goes. Before today's instant communications a man went through life with more or less a clear sight of what he wanted, and those ideas or "wants" or "needs" where often shaped in one form or another by religion - religion is spoon fed since birth. The 20th Century changed all that and today's generation is much less his own generation. Mass media instant and ubiquitous manipulation changed all that. It is very easy in today's world to find yourself lost and without rudder, there are so many things - pleasure wise, power wise, material wise - that obscure and obstruct what really matters.

This is why goal setting is good to put on paper. This way you have it in front of you and you will not lose sight of your goals.
try doing a 24 hr goal, then a 30 day goal and so on. here are 4 steps for successful goal setting.
1. decide what you want
2. clarify your values. be sure your goals are reasonable and attainable.
3.write them down!!
4.take action..
make sure after you complete your goal that you reward yourself with a nice dinner or some new shoes. just something for you.

Yes. But far worse is to lose sight because of the things I must do.

Distractions and filghts of fancy of infinite possibilities causes the mind to wonder; The pragmatist believes a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

No... if that happens then u've changed ur wantings. Whatever be the number of "many", I'd always pick my choices from that large list.

Sometimes, but now I learn to focus on what I really want.

there will always be infinite choices, the trick is focus on what you want always and the choices sort them selves out accordingly.

yes, that's why i seek divine guidance to know which one should come first, aside from weighing all the options according to urgency, importance, impact, etc...
