You cannot Pivot on Pain growth mindset psychology Sep 29, 2021
I was reminded last week of this saying from my high school salad days. I had sustained a pivot injury to my right knee tearing my Meniscus cartilage.

When the Lion lies down with the Lamb clarity frameworks freedom mindset Sep 22, 2021
