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.
