Looking fixedly at the “submit” button on the application, all I can do is bite my nails. This is only a decision that would determine how my near-future life goes. Only.
Currently, I comfortably work part-time. The downside is that it’s not stable or steady in any way. This is more of an "as needed" type work. I like it. I can turn down shifts when I need to and take as many as forty hours when offered. This is great for me as I’m trying to get my photography business started. The downside is the lack of stability and benefits. I’ll have to admit, like any new business, it would help to have some money to get it going. Also, Daniel and I could use the extra steady paycheck to fix up my car {or get a new one}, and possibly get out of our current house.
Now the cons of taking the job would be less time for my photography and the little fact that I don’t really want to work here all the time.
We all make sacrifices, right? I should quit being a baby and just commit to the position. I also have this phrase bouncing and attacking me all the time since the new year. That would be my new motto:

Take risks and just do it.
Seriously, this would be risk number two of the new year and I would fully be living up to my 2014 goals and motto. Just because there are risks available to take doesn’t mean we need to take them all, right? How do you know which ones are the ones to jump into? You don’t. That’s kind of the point of taking the risk in the first place. There’s no right answer, there’s no way to know without trying.
While trying to make this decision I’ve talked to people at work and home with good insight. They have given me a lot to think about; However, in the end, I'm still the one who has to push the “submit” button on the application.
