There is time to consider all of the potential pitfalls. There is time to feel the fear. There is time to reconsider.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being impulsive is easy. Taking calculated risks is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 8 years ago, faced with the prospect of being a single mom, I decided that I wanted to be closer to my sister.&nbsp; Without any jobs prospects, I sold my house, resigned from&nbsp; my tenured teaching position and moved half way across the country with a three year old in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound crazy. It certainly sounded crazy to a lot of people in my life. Some even thought that it was impulsive. It wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taking Risks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here was my equation at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I was familiar with the area and was quite sure that it would be a good place for us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My savings and the proceeds from selling my house could support us for a year, if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I was willing to cast my net wide in terms of looking for a job and was open to taking a less than ideal job. My thought was that once I was in the area and had a job, it would be easier to get the next job.&nbsp; I was confident that I would find a job in six months and certainly within a year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I had a good support system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I was willing to take a less than ideal apartment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I was willing to start over in building a social network outside of my family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other stuff I can&#8217;t&nbsp; remember now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Then with a fearful glance backward and a great many tears, I jumped. And landed quite nicely. I&#8217;ll save the details of my excellent adventures since arriving for another post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you are ready to jump, stop! Being impulsive does not always work. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take into consideration and plan for how you&nbsp; would deal with as many of the foreseeable contingencies as possible.
