Thriving Thursday: Thriving Today

Thriving is not just surviving, it is not constantly going through the motions and having no sense of direction in life, it is not being a passive driver in your life or constantly procrastinating your future, it is not even being rich or famous. The definition of thriving is to grow vigorously and flourish. I don’t know about y’all, but I did not come to this world to survive, I came here to thrive, I came here to conquer and to exceed expectations.

A lot of us want to thrive but the sad truth is we all want the hourglass figure but not the work. We want to live our best lives without having to try or work hard for it, so we try to cut corners and do the bare minimum. But bare minimum work means bare minimum results, you must invest and sow the seeds that you want to reap and get back. It is true that we want to work smarter not harder but when many of us are put through different tests and lessons that life gives us, we continuously fail or get distracted and wonder why we are not seeing the results. Another issue that is keeping us from thriving is comparison and trends, wanting to walk in another person’s shoes wanting the same results. The thing with trends is that they always die out, you are not a trend you are a trendsetter. Just because it worked for someone else does not mean that it will work for you, that’s why to thrive you must focus on yourself not on followers, not on fame or clout, not on money, not on family, not on others opinions or expectations but only on you.

So many of us want to flourish and succeed but cannot even focus on ourselves. You are the chosen one, you are the only you, you are the success story, you are a victim not a victor, you are the former not the latter, you are the conqueror not conquered-don’t be afraid to show yourself some love. How do you thrive? You do what is best for you unapologetically. How can you thrive if you are not doing what is best for you and trying to follow someone else? You must lead yourself into the right path and know that the answers are all within you, if you have questions use your intuition as a guide to possible external resources (YouTube, close friends, numerology, full astrology, angel numbers, chakra alignment, etc.). Focus on yourself by doing what is best for you and listening to yourself. You are the biggest resource that you have, so channel that energy within you through meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, and self-love. May you continue to thrive in every aspect of your life. Peace be to you and through you!
