“You! What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed! Did I not say that you would be a burden, that you would not survive in the wild and that you have no place amongst us? I’ve never been so wrong in all my life.” Thorin embraces Bilbo in the Hobbit

What If . . .
What if I stopped doing what I’m doing and started in a new direction? That’s a scary thought. We get set in a job/career. We form habits to get through the day. We are into comfortable routines. When a crises hits and takes us out of our routines and habits we find ourselves caught in an emotional storm. We don’t want to change or adapt. We have no choice if we are to survive, we have to change and adapt. It is possible to stop what one is doing and start in a new direction. People do it all the time. It’s not easy. It forces us to think differently and acquire new knowledge. It forces us to grow.
