Surviving is NOT equivalent to thriving.
Surviving is NOT equivalent to thriving.
“If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere.”
Yeah, but at what cost?
Does “making it” also mean I’ll be happy?
If I have to sacrifice everything that is important to me – happiness, health, inner peace, relationships, deep authenticity, true intimacy…
❌ Then I lose. Because sacrificing these things means I lose myself.
And for what? Some accolade society has placed value and meaning on to measure who’s succeeded and who hasn’t?
🙅🏼♀️ No. I forfeit that game.
❌ I don’t want to survive anymore. I don’t want to be fat, sad, angry, empty, disconnected and alone.
🤍 I want to love and be loved. I want to care for my body, mind and spirit as they deserve to be cared for.
I don’t want to just be a strong, rock hard body. I want warmth, I want deep connection with myself and others that one cannot have when one is just a pretty shell.
🤍 I want to keep showing the world the real me, flawed but at least I’m free.
❌ I don’t want to live in a prison I built out of a caricature of myself.
Yeah, I’m east coast. Yeah I’m Jersey strong. But I am so much more than that. I don’t get to rely on my strength anymore. I don’t want to just survive.
💎 Every single one of us are made to thrive.
We have incredible minds, we have huge hearts and we have souls that already know our life’s path.
❌ We are not just bodies, trudging along, typing on computers and pushing through workouts. No, we get to use all of our faculties.
💎 We get to use our hearts and our intuition to determine what we do in this life, who we choose to spend time with, what we put our energy into...
thereby amplifying the change we want to see in our bodies, our families and our world at large.
Drop a heart emoji if you agree. 🤍
