Making Decisions - Leaving Behind Alternatives


It's very rare that I have the opportunity to contemplate a new position. Last week, I was recently presented with two job offers that were both very attractive. There was a time in my life that I would have jumped, but this time, I sat back and I meditated on my current job instead...turning over the pros and cons of the current position that I am in. It took awhile, but my current job actually won out over the other two offers. So I turned them both down.

It made me wonder why I was really seeking a new position. I guess that, only time will tell whether my current job will prove out as the right decision. I can't help think what might have been had I changed from my present position, but when you make a decision you have to let all the other alternatives go and live with the consequences.
