Following my Heart
I have decided not to take the job in Bemidji. It would be a really great opportunity, and there are a million logical reasons why I should take it, (i.e. money, benefits, resume builder, career opportunities, job I would enjoy). All the reasons not to take it seem silly.
But I talked it over with my mom this morning, and this is what she told me. She told me that all these reasons for taking the job were very logical, but that I have always been someone who basis big decisions more on intuition that logic, and it has never really failed me. So if my heart was telling that I didn't want to take it, then I should probably listen. She also reminded me that none of the people who were telling me I should take this job had just spent 8 months living abroad, so they couldn't really understand my reasons for needing to be at home right now.
Additionally, Latrisse gave me some good advice last night. She said that if I thought I would be okay with not taking the job, and I wouldn't look back and regret it afterwards, then not to do it. And I thought about it, and I knew that I would be perfectly happy with my life without this job, so why take it?
So, that is how I came to my decision. It isn't logical, or practical in any way, but when I have I ever been a logical or practical person?
