Thrive and Awaken® Tip

In Survival Mode we view life as a victim and see events as happening TO us.

When thriving, our perception shifts to seeing life as happening FOR us. Thus, our biggest mistakes can be our greatest gifts. For example, choosing a spouse that contributes to an unhealthy connection can awaken you to greater self-awareness. This “mistake” opens you to having a loving AND healthy relationship in the future. Also, you may lose a great job because of constant procrastination. This loss can prompt you to face your anxieties and learn how to manage them, so you can be proactive and even more effective.

See if you can review your “mistakes” from a different lens. What did you learn from them? Can you see how they are FOR you?
