You get what you focus on. When you focus on survival, that’s what you get. You survive. You just get by with the relief of nothing terrible happening. Joy is a luxury for a survival mindset. Joy is essential for a thriving mindset. Open to joy and thrive.
When we depend on circumstances to look a certain way for us to feel joy, we rarely experience joy.
Thriving is all about your mindset. See yourself with plenty of everything you need and want. See more than enough.
It takes courage and willingness to disengage from the insistent pull of practical reality and choose to create what we want to see and experience. This is not about becoming an ostrich, burying your head in the sand. It’s simply about getting curious to explore what both and would look and feel like.
