Adapting to change while pursuing a goal

Dalia Barsoum speaks with Tim Storey about adapting to change, maintaining personal routines and continuing the work a goal requires. This Adapt & Thrive interview looks beyond property financing to the choices people make in their daily lives.

Their discussion moves from the events people cannot control to the choices and routines Tim describes in his own life. He also shares personal experiences and the ideas behind his book, The Miracle Mentality.

Early in the interview, Dalia explains why the series looks at adapting to change while continuing to work towards personal goals.

Tim responds by discussing the difference between external events and how he approaches them. Dalia asks him to explain that distinction through his experience.

Personal routines and daily preparation

When Dalia asks about managing time, Tim describes the space he gives to study, reflection and exercise. He also discusses limiting the attention he gives to social media early in his day.

Sustained effort after setting a goal

Later, Tim uses farming as an analogy for preparation, action and sustained care. Dalia develops the point by drawing attention to the repeated work behind an outcome that can appear sudden from the outside.

The analogy connects an ambition with the daily effort needed to pursue it.
