Surviving vs. Thriving: Which path are you going to choose?


“Surviving occurs when you spend your life trying to release or control your fears. Thriving happens when you come to such an evolution in your thinking that fears simply become irrelevant. One takes lifetimes, and the other less than a year. Which path are you going to choose?”
Jennifer Hough


In the past, I was simply interested in surviving better than I was currently surviving. I didn’t even know at the time that I had equated “really, really, really” good survival as “thriving.” But it isn’t.

Recently I was on a call with some clients, and it was apparent that others were operating from that same place that I used to.

Here’s an example of Surviving: Getting out of stuckness eventually, having a fairly big roller coaster of emotions, life/people/politics takes you out and eventually you find your way back to your heart. You also have energy for the things you absolutely need to do, but not for the extras.

Here’s an example of Surviving pretty well: This is what I used to aim for; but read the next paragraph after this one, to see where we are headed. I have tools for getting out of stuckness quickly, for raising my vibration every morning to reset, when the world takes me out, I know exactly how to get back in my flow. I can muster up the energy to do most things with a little conscious effort.

Here is what Thriving looks like: The Universe just delivers me unimagined results without my asking all day long, or needing to intend. I live in overflow of all of the things that I used to work hard for. The energy I need is always available. I can do what I need to do, and what I love to do, without compromising. Events and people that used to throw me off, aren’t even around me any more. Redirects and resets are exciting versus challenging, because clarity is available on demand. I CARRY NOTHING, AND HAVE CHILD LIKE ENERGY ALL DAY LONG.

I didn’t even realize that some people don’t even know that thriving is available to anyone; ANYONE!

It is just a different operating system that we can all learn.

It became apparent that my life’s work is driven by a yearning to teach humanity how to thrive. It’s to assist us all to upload the operating system that leads to living in the exponential flow that is akin to how the whole Universe works. Humans work wayyyyy too hard (like I used to do).

Recently, I had a great conversation with a dear friend about the difference between those born to thrive, and those who are okay with surviving.

Thrivers are pretty tired of self-analysis. They feel their hearts calling them. They know there is more to them, and to their journeys, than is currently happening, and that feeling calls to them.

Those who live in order to survive are okay with fixing themselves forever more, and generally don’t mind giving their power away to others to tell them answers.

Thrivers want to become masters of finding their own answers, and don’t mind getting the help they need to be their own Gurus.

Oh sure, there is always a time to be introspective; but consider that it takes a lot less time than you think to live completely up to date with all of your thriving Super Powers. Imagine what it would be like to dawn a way of being that has you be in effortless flow as your natural state; where what you need simply comes to you as you create forward, without the drama….

Would that be a different life for you?

It’s been a very different experience for me: In love, in finances, in energy, in health, and in just about every area of my life.

But I had to understand the operating system first, and I would so love to pay that forward to you.

‘Or betters’ present frequently when we simply remember ourselves as the embodied intention of everything we’ve ever lived in any life. They manifest when we remember our free will to choose, realizing our trajectory is the result of every past life, every desire, and every prayer you have ever prayed.

‘Or betters’ happen when you live like control is overrated. Understanding the resources of the omnipotent and omniscient Creation will deliver for you so far beyond anything your lovely (please don’t hate me) pea brain can intend is key. Your brain only accesses your history, the programs you learnt in school and paradigms you’ve created through the years, and who wants to ‘rinse and repeat’ that again?

Your greater Wisdom is constantly dancing with the trajectory you are on. You’re a living intention, without ever needing to use your brain to intend. Infinite Wisdom is in a dance with you, responding to your every thought and, perhaps ever more, to your actions. It’s responding to your life’s purpose. The thing is, you can’t mentally intend your way to an awesome life.

My two favorite words…

My two favorite words…

When our actions resonate with our purpose and we’re aligned with the Universe’s potential for us, it’s such an expansive feeling.

The feeling of expansiveness validates you are in flow.

The alignment with greater wisdom is translated through our body as feelings of ‘woo hoo’, ‘yes!’, goosebumps, or fun! It’s confirmation that we’re acting and thinking in line with our ‘highest and best’ life, using our skills and personality, creating in the most aligned way.

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.
