Thrive and Awaken® Tip

We naturally resist powerlessness, that feeling of vulnerability and lack of control. We strive to be in control and hope that will bring peace. Although natural, resisting what we’re feeling creates more stress and keeps us in Survival Mode. Striving for control does not end in lasting peace because there’s always one more aspect of life where we feel powerless.

Thriving is learning to accept our powerlessness. 99.99% of life is outside of our control. We don’t even have control over the next thought that comes into our mind. We can’t control others, despite our attempts to do so. We can influence our health but really don’t have control over what illness may arise or when we’ll die.

Accepting our powerlessness conserves energy and provides a clarity of mind so we can be proactive and advocate for what’s in our best interest. True peace comes from embracing our powerlessness.
