You are either in a state of survival or creation, and the state you dwell in more often determines every aspect of your life.
Healthy vs letting yourself go.
Successful vs stressed all the time.
Abundant vs there’s never enough.
Living reactively makes you the permanent victim to your world.
Life is happening ‘at you’, and it is your exhausting duty to endure everything that comes your way.
Your body and mind normalize stress, overwhelm and stimulus.
And you stay stuck because all of your energy is used to ‘survive’ the constant ‘threats’ of life.
Now living PROACTIVELY is where the magic happens.
Taking ownership of your time, energy and resources, and using them intentionally to CREATE the life you want is the ONLY way to move forward.
This is where you grow. This is where you build.
This is where every opportunity you desire will be created so that you can seize it in a powerful way as you develop into the healthiest, happiest, most abundant version of yourself.
So, why the hell would someone continue to choose to live reactively when that makes growth impossible?
In one word, convenience.
If you are constantly the victim to the stresses of life, you have a comfortable excuse for playing small.
Fearlessly leaping into the unknown to create your life is the only way to find happiness, but the unknown is scary and unfamiliar.
And if left to its own devices, the human brain will subconsciously choose convenience over growth because one seems ‘safer’ than the other.
But you and I both know that settling for convenient is where potential goes to die.
This is why re-wiring your mindset is the most valuable thing you will ever do.
This is why reprogramming your body’s addiction to stress and stimulus is the most powerful change you can make.
Because it frees your TRUE self to get back in the driver’s seat of your life.
Where growth, success and lasting change are passionately CREATED.
The clock is ticking, and every minute you waste reacting to life is time you’ll never get back.
Spend this one life you’ve been given growing into the successful person you know you deserve to be.
It will change EVERYTHING.
