#Reverb10 is a blogging initiative that provides prompts each day of the 31 days of December with the intent of reflecting on the past year, specifically 2010, and looking forward to what’s to come in the year ahead.
The Prompt
Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?
A little bit faster now don't wanna turn around
- Runaway, Love and Theft
I've made a lot of decisions this year, and it's so hard to judge whether a decision was good or bad until we see the outcome. The biggest decision I made was actually made near the end of 2009--I left the company I worked for, for 2 years. I took a big leap on my gut feeling that I needed to change my path.
2009 was a year of exhaustion, stress, and filled with mounds of worry and doubt. I could feel the pressure from my boss and all the frustration and craziness. During a year that never seemed to get any better, I looked to my faith--in my heart, in my life, and in my personal direction--I chose to change my career path.
A year ago, I wouldn't have known if this was a wise decision or not but looking back now, I believe with my whole heart that I couldn't have made a wiser decision.
Even though, as I stood outside my building last week and surprisingly shed a tear as I looked across the street at the parking lot fill with sedans and minivans, I know in my heart that I made the right choice. As their busy and crazy season begins, my year is almost over. Who knew that moving my daily routine right across the street would feel like a completely different world?
