The Path Ahead Is Ever-Changing

Sometimes you need to put your head down and push hard to make progress.

Other times you need to slow down and make adjustments according to both the obstacles and opportunities that present themselves on the path ahead.

Learn to calibrate your speed and direction accordingly.

A lot of people brag about the "grind" and the "hustle" without ever making any forward progress.

Yes ... Having a sense of urgency and working hard is crucial to your success.

But you also have to learn when to take a step back...

Evaluate the situation...

...and make adjustments accordingly.

If you're unaware of the conditions or unwilling to pivot when the game changes...

Eventually ... You're going to crash and burn.

The path ahead is ever-changing.

Don't lose in the long run because you were oblivious to the situation unfolding in front of you.

Shift gears and calibrate your pace when it's required.

You will get your ass beat if you don't.
