2024- Occupational & Intellectual Well-Being

James Garts, III, Esq. — Applying Intellectual Wellness to Your Career

I find some comfort in the thought that life is a series of 50/50 decisions. Yes and no. Go or don't go. Left or Right. Up or Down. Do or do not. Each of us gets to make such decisions throughout our day based upon the information we have and our state of wellbeing when the decision is to be made. When I practiced criminal defense and family law, I sometimes shared this perspective with my clients while encouraging them not to linger in regret but to focus on making good decisions going forward. I also think it is healthy to recognize that even thoroughly calculated decisions might not always have predictable results.
