We are naturally programmed to find the shortest route from Point A to Point B.\xa0We want to be fast and efficient.\xa0We don\u2019t want to waste time with unnecessary detours.\xa0We want to check the box that signals DONE.\xa0Mission accomplished.\xa0Task completed.\xa0\xa0\nHowever, if you look back at anything you\u2019ve done in life that took a little extra time or required a detour (that might have been very frustrating at the moment), you can likely see some sort of gift or a little bit of magic that you wouldn\u2019t have been able to receive if you swiftly moved from Point A to Point B without interruption, distraction or detour.\nIt is the detours and the squiggly, indirect routes from Point A to Point B that create space for unique opportunities to build relationships, learn some of life\u2019s best lessons, charter new territory, practice a new skill, fumble and fail your way forward, grow in ways you didn\u2019t know you needed to grow, find little bits of magic you didn\u2019t know you were looking for.\xa0\nIn this episode, I talk through why the squiggly, indirect route is often the best route - even if you\u2019re the kind of person (like me!) who doesn\u2019t like to waste a single moment on something that appears to be unnecessary at the onset.\nLinks mentioned:\n\n\nJoin My September Retreat for Women Leaders at Work: Influence & Ignite: Be the Boss Your People Have Been Waiting For: shamelessmom.com/leaders\n\n\n\nJoin my October Retreat for Women Entrepreneurs: Influence & Ignite: Be the CEO and Thought Leader You Were Born to Be: shamelessmom.com/bizretreat\n\n\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
