Lessons learned through unemployment 2

Agency and decision making has been one of the most important lessons I have learned so far. I am so grateful for a fabulous article in the New Era that discussed the difference between questioning and asking questions. So many times in life we have difficult decisions to make. I am learning that it is important to ask good questions rather than wallow in fear of the unknown. 

A while ago I was offered a job in San Francisco. It was an incredibly difficult decision, but made much easier by the fact that I determined to ask questions. I thought of the various things I didn't know but would need to know in order to feel like I could make a good decision. While the ultimate choice came down to a matter of gut instinct/the Spirit, I knew I had done everything I could to research the matter.  Decision making has never been easy for me, but has been made a lot easier because I am asking question rather than simply questioning matters.
