Write Plans in Pencil (40)

Today marks 40 Days before I turn 40 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. Leading up to this milestone, I plan to share some life lessons that I’ve learned over the past 39 years and 325 days.

Plans are made so that you take action and move forward. That’s all. If it becomes apparent that pivoting and changing direction is a better course of action, go with it. This lesson was learned in 1997 with Nikki Rutherford Kenyon at a train station in Berlin. We wanted to see 3 more cities in Europe but only had 2 days left on our train pass. Someone suggested that if we changed our route and not stick to the linear path we had planned, it was possible. I struggled to let go of the plan but went with it because I couldn’t argue with the logic.

The result was what we wanted, the journey just changed.
