The Power of Buzzwords

Buzzwords are a form of mental prompts that empower you to look to yourself for answers and propel you to action in a positive and proactive way. I would like to share a timely new buzzword. With life’s unexpected, this buzzword “Pivot” can help one adapt when life brings change.

This month’s buzzword is:

Pivot

When I set my mind on something I can be like a dog with a bone—laser focused on achieving that goal. Yes, at times this helps me stay on track, but other times, it can be detrimental when change is needed, and I resist. While others can adapt and reposition like a fine-tuned athlete…I’m not one of them. I just don’t move that quickly…in body or mind. Now when I realize change is needed, I use this buzzword “Pivot” to prompt an alternative action! On a grander scale, as proud Canadians, with dignity and resolution we are learning to “Pivot” as we encounter external pressures that are forcing us to adjust.
