A few weeks ago, in late February, I made the final decision to quit my job as an attorney and make my family and other life pursuits a priority in my life. As part of this decision I also decided to move north, from Orange County, back to the bay area, back into my parents' house for at least a little while.
This was not an easy decision, and I am under no false beliefs that living with my parents and my sister will be without problems. But this was the right decision for me right now.
So many times I think with only my head, when listening to my heart would make for a better long term decision. Had I thought with my head this time, I would have stayed exactly where I was - at my job at a fairly successful law firm, making decent money, living on my own, and making frequent trips to visit family. That was the "logical" decision. But that was not the "right" decision for me.
So, I made the scary, far less logical decision to quit my job and pursue other endeavors while I put my family first. I have no doubt that this single decision will change my life ... for the better.
