Adapt

Hard work is important, but sometimes it just keeps you stuck, like running in place. Explore your limits, when progress stalls that’s your sign to change direction — think bigger, shift your approach. Don’t just keep grinding; adjust and find a better way forward.

It’s hard to embrace risks that lead to growth when you’ve been stuck so long in survival mode.

— Impromptu, Reid Hoffman

staying in the same place is falling behind
