I do believe this week I’ve experienced the tipping point! I’ve found two definitions for tipping point, both of which describe how my week has been. The tension, self-doubt, and questioning of last week have resolved in most unexpected ways. 1. The point at which a series of small … [Read more...]
It was Einstein who said, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Why does this quote inspire me when I’m talking about setbacks? Setbacks are an obvious point at which to review, refocus and take action. However, doing more of the same is not the … [Read more...]
This week I’ve been floored by the number of setbacks I’ve experienced. The disappointments, the anger and blame, the unfairness of it all and the frustration!
