Have You Ever Had Trouble Making A Decision?
Let me ask you something and feel free to respond in the comments to these questions. Have you ever had trouble making a decision? Do you let your head and research guide you? Or do you make decisions with your gut, emotions or look for something that just feels right? I had one of those Aha moments this morning. I still am not sure whether my response was the right one or not, guess only time will tell. But in reality it wasn’t a choice but an outcome that left me scratching my head at the decision.
Normally, I see decisions as cut and dried. Either you want what you can’t have, or isn’t good for you, so your forgo that option. Left with a feeling that maybe you should have taken the chance. The second is what is best for you and your life path. Kinda black and white. This morning, to my surprise I discovered another option. Without going into details, I”ll make a long story even longer.
At least once a year opportunities arise that may create a alternative path for me. Each time, I usually check out the opportunity, maybe even stick my toe in the water to see if it feels right. Ultimately, I usually make the decision to stay on the 
current path. Okay, I admit I have been accused by friends and family of loving warm fuzzy ruts, which is possibly true. My hubby is one that hops from one warm fuzzy rut into another new and exciting opportunity, dragging me with him kicking and screaming. Well maybe just figuratively, but kicking and screaming all the same. He decision usually turns out to be correct. Now don’t tell him I admitted he was right. LOL
I considered the upcoming opportunity, studied the options and got a headache from trying to figure out what to do. I’m happy with the path I’ve taken. But is there better opportunities to be had? Yes, yes, I know, the grass always appears greener on the other side, until you get there. I look around and see others successes on that other side, at least for a while. then…. Which brought me to the decision to leave it to fate or a higher power, depending on your faith. If the opportunity materialized in it’s entirely, I’d grab for the proverbial golden ring and see what happened. If not, no second thoughts and maybe I should have’s.
The final curtain has not fallen yet, and may be months before it does, but the message was clear. I was supposed to stay on the current path at least for now. It’s funny but I feel calm and centered with what happened, rather than a ball of nerves wondering if i missed a chance I should have taken. Have you ever felt like that? How did it turn out for you?
