Now I'm standing at the threshold of a career opportunity, hesitating. "What?! Why the sudden hesitation?" you ask. "Wasn't it just a month ago that you took the risky jump of quitting your job without a single job lead, and now you're questioning?"
That's just the kinda' guy I am. That's how I do things. Even if I hit the jackpot of a million bucks my first reaction would be a matter-of-fact question, "how much would be tax-deducted?" Basically, "what's the catch?" Nothing in my life has come easy, so when I get lucky I immediately wonder what strings are attached. A negative but realistic attitude.
This career opportunity, if I jump in with both feet, has the potential to set my family and me on a very good road to financial stability. But right off the bat I have cold feet. I know that there has got to be some kind of catch. It can't be that easy. Some people are lucky, but it's not me. So right now I'm at a very exciting but apprehensive time. I really don't know which way the tide will turn, or which side the coin will fall.
So I'd rather just not think about it and take it a step at a time. Thinking too far into the future only causes unnecessary stress. I think I'll just put it into the hands of fate--the entity that has brought me this far. Whether it's God, the universal power, or chance--all three of those are more powerful than the highly limited human as myself.
Let it be written; let it be done.
