When you’re faced with a HUGE decision, how do you know which choice is the right one to make? How do you know if that choice will positively or negatively affect the rest of your life? How do you know that that choice will be better than the other?
The other day I was presented with a terrific job offer. Of course my excitement and gut told me to take it immediately, but then I realized…this decision will affect the rest of my life. I began to think about not moving back to my home town after graduating and renting a place all of my own. At that point, it also hit me that I was entering “THE REAL WORLD.” That in itself is scary enough, in addition to the fear of making this huge decision.
After hemming and hawing, making countless phone calls to friends and family, and taking a lot of time to think on my own, I accepted the offer! Upon accepting, a giant weight was lifted off my shoulders. Not only did I no longer have to stress over looking for post graduate employment, but I had also weighed all of my options, planned everything out, and made a sound decision!
Going back to the original inquiry, is there ever a right decision?, I really don’t think that there is such a thing. I do believe, however, that there is a “right for now” decision!
Congratulations Katie!
