Decisions, Decisions

One of the many many things I miss about working with such good friends and great regulars is the wonderful advice I received. It wasn’t always what I wanted to hear, but at least I could count on the fact that it was always honest. So here I am, craving advice from the people I love and respect.

How do you make a decision that you know will completely decide the outcome of the rest of your life? I’ve always thought life to be most like a “chose your own adventure” book You know, the one where at the end of a chapter you had to decide what you wanted the character to do and from that decision you’d have to flip to the corresponding page. I would always try to cheat. Ha Ha I’d look ahead to see what would happen, but even that would only take me so far until I had no choice but to make a selection and stick with it.  So again, how do we determine the verdicts of our life?

Some people like to choose the ones with the least amount of risks involved. As you can tell from past blogs, I’m not afraid of risks, but I am afraid of making wrong decisions. Another fear is that of uncertainty. I have no way of knowing which path I chose will, in the end, make me the happiest. I have faith that they both will, but in very different ways. Like many aspects of life, neither choice is a guaranteed reward. Another question is “which is easier?”. . . again, neither. They will both be very difficult and I’m sure sometimes heart wrenching.

What decision do I have to make, you ask? Well, I have an opportunity to obtain something I wanted for a very very long time.  It is at the very top of the list of things I want out of life. If everything works out, it could complete my life, but if not, it could destroy me. The risks are neck and neck with the rewards. Normally, I would tell myself to go for it, but in doing so, I would have to give up this big adventure I have planned. Yes, I could still have a life of adventure, but it’d be different and not as immediate.  I could try to wait until after my adventure is over, but the likelihood of the opportunity still being available to me would be slim. So what do I do? What would you do?

(BTW after reading this I realized that it makes me sound like I’m prego… I most DEFINATLY am not Ha Ha Just wanted to make that clear)
