Follow the thing that energizes you

A simple principle I discovered on the web some time ago went something like: “Follow the thing that energizes you.”

This is the apparatus I use to make large decisions in my life, and it ultimately helped me commit to moving to San Francisco (which, after just 5 months has clearly been the bullet-proof-correct decision) and starting a second business. Rationally, both of these decisions didn’t make sense given my circumstance, yet, were clearly the correct ones.

I’ve found that with big ‘life-decisions’, rationale can sometimes confuse us and lead us astray. It’s the path that energizes us that is often aligned with what we truly want to do.
