Looking back, I can see that I am SOOOOO not interested in surviving better than I used to; but, I did not realize until that moment that I used to have an operating system that could only lead to survival. Then it became apparent that my life’s work is driven by a yearning to teach humanity how to thrive; to assist us all to upload the operating system (which is entirely different) that leads to thriving.
Then last night, I was doing an interview with Acurda Wallace (it was awesome… hope you get to listen), and we talked about the difference between the operating systems we have.
Here it is in a nutshell: Those who thrive don’t excavate their fears… they simply have learned not to care about them. Thrivers know where fears come from, and honour that. Yet, they are pretty tired of analyzing and don’t want to energize that stuff anymore, because it’s exhausting. Those who survive think they need to feel comfortable to act, or to fix themselves first before they shine.
Oh sure, there is always a time to be introspective, but consider that it takes a lot less time than you think. What if 90% of your time was spent activating and acting on inspiration, and 10% of your time was spent getting stuff out of the way? Would that be a different life for you?
This video is from that recent Monthly Wake-Up Call on the difference between the operating systems for Survival and Thriving; check it out, and let us know what you think! I, for one, would love to hear!
Big love, and on this U.S. Thanksgiving, I am so grateful for YOU, dear Awakening super hero, unicorn, Alchemist, ninja fairy!
With love and gratitude,
Jennifer
