Our Mission In Life Is Not Just To Survive, But To Thrive

So many people today are unfortunately just surviving instead of thriving. They have a "just get by" type of mentality every minute of every day. Living to survive prohibits us from living a meaningful life.

I strongly believe that one of the core reasons why so many get accustomed to living a life of survival instead of a life that is thriving is because they let the hustle and bustle of life completely take over their lives and clog their decision-making.

Stay purpose-driven. I know firsthand how easy it can be at times to let the hustle and bustle of life take over every move of yours if you aren't intentional about staying purpose-driven. Staying purpose-driven can mean a lot of things. Everything that you do should revolve around staying purpose-driven.

Hang around with winners. You have probably heard a million times about the importance of who you hang out with, but it's amazing how many people still don't comprehend it and practice it in their every day life.

Constantly build yourself up. There is no doubt about it that life can be hard. Find whatever works for you and stick to a plan. When you learn to be your own best friend and constantly search for ways to build yourself up rather than tear yourself down, you will begin to realize that you absolutely got this and have what it takes.

You don't have to merely exist in life. You can thrive by practicing gratitude on a daily basis. Each day, think of something new. Don't repeat the same thing twice. Forgive yourself and others for past "mistakes." These are all learning opportunities. Take the lessons from them and move on.

Always keep learning-about yourself and others. If they knew better, they'd do better. Make time for fun and relaxation. So many people take life way too seriously! Life is a balance-work and play. Make time for work as well-something that provides value for others. Having a purpose provides a sense of well-being in your life. Contribute. Give back to the world in a positive manner.

Look for beauty. Take care of your body. This adds so much more to your life when you are taking part in something that you actually lose track of time when you are doing it, or you look forward to it because it is challenging you to bring out your best. Get rid of the idea of perfection. There's no such thing.

You can't be the best, but you can do your best. That's a huge difference! Pay attention to your limiting beliefs. Do you think you're a lousy writer? Who says? A horrible singer, actor, business person, public speaker, artist? What beliefs hold you back? Are you afraid of flying or scared of relationships? Try something new.

Push the envelope a little and try something different! Don't take the love in your life for granted. When you do, your actions take on a different meaning. Love is action. Life is too short to be taking each other for granted. Learn how to disagree respectfully.

Learn to be 100% responsible for your life. Admit your mistakes and learn from them. Trust that something better will happen because of them.

Thriving individuals have a spark that fuels energy in themselves and others too. Thriving has two crucial components: vitality and learning. Learning means growing through new knowledge and skills.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
