The Pinball Machine Mindset: Embracing Life’s Redirections
In business and life, it’s easy to get bogged down in daily tasks. While staying busy is important, focusing only on the immediate can prevent growth. If we never step back, we might miss the bigger picture, stalling progress.
One mindset shift that helps Marilee is what she calls the Pinball Machine. We often have a clear vision of where we want to go—but when things don’t go as planned, it’s easy to feel lost.
Instead, trust that life’s redirections are purposeful. Like a pinball bouncing through the machine, those unexpected twists can guide us to something better. These small shifts often reveal a bigger story, helping us grow and adapt—even when it doesn’t make sense at the time.
