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.
If you want to feel inspired and alive, focus on what you most deeply desire and notice what happens. Do you feel excited, nervous or conflicted? Our deepest desires can trigger our fears.
Imagine you’re on an unfamiliar beach, gazing out at the waves gently rolling in onto the shore. You’re wondering whether it’s safe to swim. What if there are undercurrents that could sweep you out to sea or drag you under? Navigating fears and doubts are like those unseen undercurrents, lurking beneath the surface of your dreams and goals.
Life is full of turning points. That moment when the job, career or relationship doesn’t feel right anymore. You can sense it. Something new is calling you. A change, a new direction. At the same time, you cling to the edge of the chasm between old and new. Intuitively you know, yet your mind resists. It’s time to trust and let your inner guidance show you the way.
