answer: > pivot towards a new passion time is a flat circle

  That's what popped in my head, "oh, pivoting!" I guess there's an element of readiness to the idea.

    In this instance, I think it's used in parellel with "pivot towards a new passion" to demonstrate an absence of meaning. They both sound nice but don't convey practical information that a person could usefully act on. More broadly, "time is a flat circle" was popularized in the first series of True Detective, but it originates in Neitzsche's doctrine of eternal recurrence, which was itself influenced by various western and eastern thinkers. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche/#EterRecuSame https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche/#EterRecuSame

  "Goal adjustment capacity... encapsulates two key components: the ability to disengage from fruitless goals and the ability to reengage in new, more productive goals. You could see it as knowing when and how to switch from one dream to another." I think the point of the article is that people sometimes have difficulty deciding to pivot, and then have difficulty pivoting toward a new passion.
