Trusting Your Gut

I've always trusted my gut.  I still do, and I'd rather back a fast instinct than talk myself into a slow, ‘sensible’ answer - I don't think overthinking is a virtue, and I'm not about to start recommending it to anyone else. What I've had to learn, more slowly than I'd like, is that not every fast ‘yes’ is actually instinct.

The Pivot Point

Most creative professionals don't change direction all at once.

It happens gradually.  A quiet discomfort that builds over months.  A growing sense that the work you're doing no longer quite fits the person you're becoming.  A feeling - hard to name, easy to dismiss - that something needs to shift.

And then, at some point, a moment of clarity.  The pivot point.
