When I was a little girl I wanted red hair and green eyes. I was brought up during the Ann of Green Gables era so this was a pretty normal desire. Not only did I want red hair, I wanted curly red hair. Guess what I got? Yep, straight blonde hair and blue eyes.
Leads one to thinking, why is it that we want what we don't have? Curious thing about that is we probably wanted what we have now when we didn't have it. And now we have it and we forget how badly we wanted it in the first place. Why is that?
We make decisions every day. Some are big, some are insignificant. We are doing a little hiring in my office and the candidate has yet to meet the boss. A group of us were talking with the boss and he was asking our opinion of the candidate. We said that candidate 'A' seemed like a good fit, but that probably the best way to determine if she will do well in our office is spend 5 minutes with the boss. And then we teased him about what a good gut reaction he has and it's all thanks to crab cakes or something or other.
So, when making decisions is it more important to go with your gut even if you have no idea why you feel the way you do, or should you just go with what you've always wanted even if you think deep down maybe you won't like curly red hair???
