I’ve truly learned that change happens whether we are ready for it or not, and i think true character comes from how gracefully we can deal with transition in the midst of turbulence. It hasn’t always been gracefully, but I’m working on making my transitions smoother.

Thanks for reading. I tend to agree with you, but it’s an interesting question. I know for me when I went back to waiting tables I was convinced that there was nothing for me to learn from it, but have found it surprising how much real-life applicable skills I have learned; however, as you say, it would become detrimental for me to stay in this position long term since it doesn’t line up with my goals.

I have learned so much myself and grown too. Sometimes we need to just take a step back and see how much we have. I am proud of us both, Kerri! See you tomorrow!

The issue becomes once you’ve learned something, how will you use the information to better yourself? I stayed there much longer than I needed to and it became detrimental.
