There is not a rule about me making decisions. Like some times I’m really sharp and fast about it (that makes me feel very proud and mature about myself) but sometimes I just truly do not know what to do and I can spend hours and days struggling about the decision. Literal agony! It’s like I’m waiting for this big revelation to just come and give the spectacular solution. The decisions can be big or little ones, it doesn’t matter.

This time it’s about my professional life. Right now, I have two job offers. One is for this cool trendy job. You know, working with one of my favorite things: SHOES!!!  I get to work with awesome people and have a really cool time while I work. The other job is not as cool. I would be doing sheets and more sheets of Excel full of numbers and then I will have to make phone calls to those whose numbers are in red.

The difference is the MONEY!! First job not much ching-ching; the second job pays almost twice. I know with this fact the answer should be easy, but what about quality of life and happiness and doing what you love and all that crap. What matters most? Money or happiness? Money makes you happy, right?

The fear of making the wrong decision can be completely debilitating. We all deal with this in different levels. We don’t want to make a mistake. I don’t want to work in a company doing tasks that make me cheerless and have head pains to get paid what I think I deserve. I wish I could commingle the jobs to have THE perfecto job.

I’m annoyed by this constant argument inside of my head. So let’s let my YES/NO iPhone App decide for me. I do that all the time. Seriously, I don’t know where I would be with out this App. Matter of fact, I don’t know what I would do with out my iPhone, and I know everybody says that but my heart is speaking when I say my phone is my life. My personal importance list goes like this: husband, phone, Olivia (our dog), the rest of the family. The phone is in second place people!!!! Anyway, I’m getting off topic here.

No matter what decision I make I’m going to be happy with it, because I never regret anything and because I truly believe my decisions are always the best.

Life needs to be GOOD. Find your OWN and precious definition of GOOD.  For me good means to come home after work in a happy mood to be able to enjoy the little incredible every day things around me. Like seeing my little doggie doing some kind of shimmy-shake in the lower torso with an exaggeration of tail move or laughing unstoppably from the silliness of my blue eyed man.
