GET Thriving

Try a little tenderness toward your past self.
Forgive your mistakes.
Love that part of you that was just doing the best they knew how to do.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
-A Nin

Happiness is so amazing that it doesn’t even have to be yours for it to positively affect you. When I’m in the vicinity or presence of a genuinely happy person I always feel lighter, more optimistic, and even a little bit of a gut check. The gut check, for me is a pattern of living in the land of conditional joy. How am I standing in the way of my own joy? Damn it! It was me the whole time!

Fire! I could smell the smoldering fire from a block away.

Turns out it was a planned burn for the front yard to prep the soil for spring growth.

We are all going to have times in our lives when we start over and sometimes our lives needs a prescribed burn.

For agriculture, fire can help renew the soil, eliminate weeds, and pave the way for a healthier ecosystem.

Starting over after heartbreak, after the kids are growth and gone, after an unexpected career change, or a health diagnosis can feel impossible, unfair, and like life is picking on you. I know I’ve felt all of that before!

Starting over takes courage and that courage lives in you right now! Starting over is a time to:

Recalibrate, Retool, and Re-engage.

You got this!
