The detour wasn’t a setback. It was the setup. I used to apologize for my nonlinear path. For the career change nobody understood. For the company I dissolved. For starting over - more than once. What I know now is that the people who change direction aren’t the ones who lost. They’re the ones who were paying close enough attention to know when something wasn’t working. That’s not failure. That’s discernment. Your pivot isn’t the part of your story you skip over. It IS the story. Give yourself permission to own it. 📕 “Give Yourself Permission” — link in bio. #motivation #giveyourselfpermission #quote
