Great points, Suzanne! My friends and I have been discussing the concept of friction lately, specifically how much of it is actually a product of our attitude and mindset rather than external factors. Turns out it's a lot more than we thought, and while that's not an easy fix, it's definitely worthwhile. Lately whenever I encounter some friction during my day I ask myself, "How can I see this differently?"
I love looking at it as friction -- really opens your eyes to reframe it and consider how you might change things up. And if you have the energy for it . . . Sending you all the best for 2025!
Very nice. By the way, I am closing Samurai Pivot to focus on Shigoto with Mayumi. Hope all is well. Tokyo is crazy busy. Best wishes for 2025.
Wow, a big move Mike! Sending good wishes you to and Mayumi and I look forward to hearing more about how things evolve in Tokyo . . .

Knowing when to say that a draft is good enough to publish is something I’m working on.
Such a vital one . . . let me know if you have any tips along the way since I could definitely use that intention too!
