We all grow up with these ideas about "sticking it out" when the idea of pivoting is a smarter notion that's sure to bring more happiness to us, and likely more growth.

I know my own family embodied that idea--the American can-do, regardless of risks and prices, rather than well-considered choices and alternatives. Raised with that mind-set, I have spent much of my adult life countering that attitude with the knowledge that I actually can "pivot" to more suitable goals when appropriate, rather than just forging ahead regardless.KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-35975995688426348362022-01-16T10:07:50.304-05:002022-01-16T10:07:50.304-05:00As short as life is, purposeful thinking and actin...As short as life is, purposeful thinking and acting makes sense.

Recently, I was challenged to justify spending my time writing when "I wasn't making good money."<br /><br />I was masked and distanced, speaking to thirty women, so I took the polite route: it was something I'd always wanted to do, and I enjoyed it.
