Dream Job but... Gameshow

Come on down! Welcome to this new game show, we offer you dream scenarios but there is a stipulation and you have to decide if you will accept it or not. Dream job but...fill in a stipulation. I am sure this is some kind of game people play. Life and decisions seem so much easier inside a game or in a vacuum. Where the decisions you make don't really affect anyone and you can just choose what you want, no side effects. But alas, that is not how life works, and if it did, it would probably be pretty boring. 

Right now I am considering what seems like such a perfect fit opportunity, but I have to leave everything and everyone that has been my life behind. I have done it for a short time before, but this would be somewhat more permanent. Yes, I know this is a parable, or like two combined into one. These decisions just seem so hard. (Note to self: go reread the trail blazes post about just going to the next blaze and not looking for one 25 blazes ahead) 

I am grateful for a coaching session that helped me come up with a framework ahead of time in order to be able to judge opportunities with more objectivity on a value system I had pre-established. What I underestimated is how strong the gravitational pull of some things can be like the known, comfort, friends, family, etc. Until you are faced with things, you don't always know how deeply they have rooted into you. But for now, I will commit it to prayer, listening, and taking the next step.
