Someone told me early on: put the blinders on and just go.
I wish I hadn’t listened.
Because there were points where if I had just stopped and looked around, I would’ve caught it — the fact that the thing I was chasing had already stopped mattering to me. I would’ve redirected sooner. Saved myself a lot of unnecessary miles in the wrong direction.
Not every pivot is a failure. Sometimes it’s just proof that you finally asked the right question.
Is this even where I want to go?
Ask it. Seriously.
