Decisions, decisions. How do we make them? We hear all sorts of suggestions from people on how to make decisions, when to make them, and which one to make. How do they know? How does anyone know? If you're plagued with indecisiveness like me, you've probably struggled with all of these things. You've probably also heard people say: "Follow your heart", "Go with your gut", "Make a Pro/Con list", or "Pray about it." Now, none of these statements are wrong, but what do you do when you do all these and they come up with conflicting answers?
Step 1: Pray some more. Step 2: Figure out your priorities. When your heart, brain, and gut all disagree, sit them down like children and hash it out one point at a time. Now, this vague rambling has specifically to do with me choosing a job. Do I take a job in the awesome city of Boston? Do I take the job where I'll make $35,000 more/year..in Boston? Or do I stay at home with family and friends because I've been away for 6 years? Do I stay in Ohio where I can get my German Shepherd puppy? Do I rent an awesome apt. in Boston? Or do I invest in cheap, country real estate in Ohio? What to do, what to do? I've finally made my decision. I was all set on moving to Boston, enjoying awesomeness, buying a small dog I can bring with me on the subway, doing therapy, and making tons of money..this was my decision until I realized how much I valued staying near family and friends. Fare thee well moolah, hello corn fields!
