Forget all the reasons why it won't work and focus on the one reason why it will.

Every now and then I think about my life now and what options I have as far as school and service related activities are concerned and I get this tightness in my chest; though I have a plan for school and ideas for my career I've needed a pause in the plan.  (stomach monster and then wanting a mission)
It seems time to reevaluate the pause and decide something about moving forward somewhere, that's where this tightness comes from.
I know that it's impossible to stand still for too long without bursting (so to speak, not literally of course), and I'm ready to do something.
Yet I think of what I would be leaving behind if I were to go one way in life, and what I would be missing if I were to choose another.
I've never really been one to freeze when something scared her, but now I feel frozen.
Is any of this making sense? 
I need a hike.
and tea.
What have any of you done when at a crossroads? 
How did you choose?

Its.....not making so much sense, no.

I make a list. :) Pros. Cons. Happy things. Consequences. Everything. Then I make the best decision based on that, whatever feels the best for me and my situation. One I will not regret and if I had to choose over again I would do the same thing.

You will probably always think what would have happened if I had gone down this other road, but we all do. And its never too late to choose a different path later on or just enjoy the difference.
