Pivoting

How to go with it when life sends you a curveball. It's natural for us to jump to "the How" when we're talking about our goals - we've been conditioned to think that way: Me: I'm going to make a million dollars. Dad: Great! How are you going to do that? Me: I want to take a gap year & travel Europe Mom: That's fantastic. How are you going to pay for it? And those questions are good intentioned, but they limit us in our ability - because we believe that we can't DO the thing until we have the perfect plan laid out from beginning to end. AND THEN, when things don't go as planned, it blocks us from getting scrappy & figuring it out. But the truth is, that if you've ever set out towards a goal, that when you reach it, there were lots of turns, plot twists, and obstacles that we couldn't have anticipated. When we look back at what it took us to accomplish the goal, we NEVER could have predicted that the path we took was the way that it turned out. Instead of giving up when things don't turn out like we think they should have, we need to learn how to pivot.Hey! I love hearing from you. Send me a text. Let me know what resonated with you.
