63. Pivot Like a Pro: Adapting Your Goals to Thrive In Any Situation Finding Greatness

Today, we're tackling the juicy topic of being adaptable with your goals and spilling the tea on how to pivot like a boss when life decides to play its little tricks on you. Trust me, I've been there, done that, and got the scars to prove it!

 

Picture this: I was all set for my Olympic glory, meticulously planning my journey, when bam! Life had different plans for me! A pesky injury crashed the party, and I had to rework my entire game plan. Pivoting that damn plan when the universe throws you a curveball is the best thing you can do.

 

Pivots aren't just some fancy dance moves; they're the secret sauce to sustainable success. We'll chat about what to do when your goals start looking unrealistic. Spoiler alert: changing your goals doesn't mean you don't believe in yourself, it's just a smart move to keep your head in the game. It's about doing what's best for you, even if it means flipping the script and strutting down a different path.
