Trust in something, trust in your gut.

Why do we associate that personal feeling of what to do, with our gut? Why is the gut placed high on a pedestal acting as a balance between right and wrong? Well whatever the reason, Gibbs would be proud.

However, I don't believe the gut feeling should be the sole decision but I'm sure it's different for each person. For me, I like to combine research and planning before I consult with my gut; I want it to have all the information before making its' decision.

My gut has aided in my adventure through my life and across the nation. I'm always shocked yet never surprised by my gut. Presently my gut is telling me to put all my eggs in one basket. Although I cringe at the thought, I feel it is the right thing for me to do. As the outdoor education season is soon to end, I've applied to quite a few jobs, no, several jobs and fellowships. There is one in particular I'm looking the most forward to. Not to say the other opportunities aren't great, but this one feels right, better.

To wherever I wind up, I'll give you my best and I promise that I only applied to positions where I could see myself making a difference and enjoying the new location.

To my gut, my budget would like you to feel more positive about higher paying jobs. To my heart, disregard that previous statement. Do what will make an impact in the lives of others and yourself no matter the dollar sign. Maslow's hierarchy says I need the basic needs first and that's all the dollar sign needs to be used for.


Thanks as always for being a part of my adventure,
Jenn
