Moving on
Over the course of your life, you make bazillions of decisions, such as:
* What color socks to wear with those sandals
* Tall or Grande
* Stay or go
* Liquor or Beer
Then, a few times in your life, you make decisions that take a lot of time and effort. They consume your thoughts. You consult everyone you’ve ever trusted, including those you haven’t seen in years. You examine other parts of your life to make sure you’re answering the right questions.
Then you make it.
But not all at once. At least for me, I need to make that decision in my head, and live it for a little - see how I like it. Maybe I can re-convince myself of the other option(s). Maybe more opportunities will come up.
Then you make it again. And now, you actually do it.
So, yesterday I made one of those big moves in my life. After two whirlwind years at Money-Media I’ve decided to move on.
There are a lot of reasons prompting this move. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about them all and weighing their importance. I’m also making this move without an exact plan for what’s next. I need to sort out my personal and professional goals, and find an environment where those goals will be honored and nurtured.
I’m sure that this is the right decision for me. I’m sure that I’ll be able to move up from here. I’m very sad to be leaving such a dense group of smart and creative people, but it’s more important that I be happy in the right situation.
