Yeah, both of you, Angela and Wolfgang, make good points.
I guess, personally, where I'm stuck is in a situation like this:
"I want to be married/have a boss that respects me/a record deal....Wait, is that TRUE?...How do I know I'd be happier with a husband/nice boss/record deal than not?..."
And then my original desire gets kind of trampled by rationality. But the rationality doesn't feel good, it makes me feel flat.
On the opposite side, if I give in to wanting those things, I worry that I am deluding myself, chasing unicorns.
I think I have some resistance here.
