GOTTA FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR HEART

As I sat in my car in downtown Dallas preparing for my upcoming interview I received an email from my dream company in San Fran. I had applied for this prestigious internship program over the summer and they had just emailed me back saying they had an opening and that they would love to interview me… all I had to do was complete a video challenge and design a chip bag to be considered. I couldn’t believe it! I was about to go interview for a job that I really didn’t want in a city I didn’t want to be in and my dream company emails me! OMG! As I interviewed for the job in Dallas all I could think about was moving back to San Fran and working at this company. That night I worked on the chip bag design and came up with my video idea. The following day I had an interview lined up with the company in SF and a job offer from the Dallas agency. I had to decide if I was going to take a leap of faith and go after my dream job with the possibility of not getting it or accept an offer I wasn’t thrilled about. I believe the universe sends you signs and this was one that just happened to pop up at the ideal moment that was screaming at me in bright red neon saying “YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE RISKY PATH IN LIFE TO GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE! YOU HAVE WORKED YOUR ASS OFF FOR THIS… THIS IS IT!  JUMP OFF THE CLIFF.”  So I turned down the job in Dallas. My mother and the rest of my family think I am insane but I feel like I have to follow my heart. Even if SF doesn’t workout I know something eventually will. The universe has a path for me so I have to just have faith that it will all workout. BTW... if I did happen to get this job, I would NOT, by any means, get back together with the Colombian copywriter. That ship has sailed.
