Major Inflection Points in My Life

M

Major inflection points in my life:

1. Getting married
(because without that chapter, the best parts of my life story would be unwritten)

2. Becoming a dad
(twice — because apparently, I like a challenge).

3. Getting divorced
(because every great story needs a plot twist).

4. Quitting my job to start a business
(when logic said “no,” but my gut told me I could learn to build the parachute on the way down).

5. Taking dance classes
(to make sure I was truly out of my comfort zone).

6. Becoming a grandfather
(the only promotion I got without an interview).

7. Getting engaged
(I’m clearly a fan of sequels).

Most of these were solid, conscious decisions I made… and then a few happened while I was busy making decisions.
