Making a Tuff Choice

Choice is just a factor of life. We all have to make them. What should I eat? Where should I live? What job should I take? This is just how it is. When do we know what choice to make? What path are we supposed to go on? Who or what do we listen to when the choice is all to much? Well I have a #thought on that.
Let me tell you about a time when I had a choice to make: It was the spring time and I had been cast in two shows back to back, with the latter one having the possibility of going on tour. Awesome! Winning at life. THEN out of nowhere a show that I and a bunch of great friends and artist had made got picked up for a musical festival in New York. I was met with a conundrum. Stay where I was and take the four months of work weeks and the money OR take a chance on performing a show I helped create in the city I dreamed of performing in as a kid for a much shorter run?Call it smart, stooped, responsible, or foolish. I stayed with the shows that paid more and skipped out on New York for something I knew. Saying no to that chance was one of the hardest choices I have made in my career so far.
I now live in New York and have met quite a few casting directors who saw that show and would have seen some of my work already instead of being here now and trying to prove myself with only an audition. 
At the time I had no idea where I would be in a year or two but I remember this. During my whole time deliberating over these two things my gut was tied up. I kept waiting for it to unwind but it never did. It was with that I knew I had made the wrong choice for myself. That feeling is what I call the G.G.G or the God Given Gut. It screams at me when I have to make a choice and if I just listen to it and not my fear I know what choice I need to make.
We have to be in tune with our bodies. In tune with our creator and the creation. You have been perfectly made and if you listen you will know what to do. Maybe you get noshes or maybe you get headaches when situations like this come up. I want to encourage you to be in tune with you and to push out that chatter box of fear. Have the courage to say yes and the discernment when to say no.
