When it comes to your life, optionality is king and keeping those options open.

You've heard me discuss adaptability leading to consistency.

If you're able to adapt, adjust to different things that happen in your life,

essentially how you react to things rather than trying to control uncontrollable things.

If you adapt, you are able to be consistent.

That's what leads to consistency. Now, controlling your options, maintaining optionality is also important given the ability to pivot.

So a good example is driving on the highway. If you're in the middle lane, you can switch

to the left lane or switch to the right lane. If you're on the left lane, you only have an option to move over to the right. If you're in the right lane, you only have the option to move over to the left. So find that middle lane. Maybe you forge a new road, you forge a new path and sometimes the lane goes down to, the road goes down to two lanes. the single lane highway but if it's a single

lane highway make sure you create a dotted line for yourself so you can pass so you can go off

so you can move you can maybe detour give yourself options and it's always great to have not

necessarily a backup plan but a different direction in other words, you might have your eye

on a certain goal or a certain prize, but how you get there can be adjusted. You might have to hit a

detour. You might have to pivot. You might have to back up, make a U-turn, and go around and get to

your destination. So as long as you have the goal in focus and you are controlling what you can control, you also want to make sure you're adding in controlling your optionality and leaving options open, leaving other paths that you can take and finding and forging those other paths because sometimes they exist, but they don't exist until you make them.

So remember, this is your life.

Control what you can control. Keep your options open. Optionality is really the key. If you're backed into a corner,

that can be very stressful, that can raise stress levels. That can be a hectic situation if you

don't have options. But keeping options open from a health standpoint, from a nutritional standpoint, from a financial standpoint, optionality is key.
