Years ago when I named my company Thrive Any Way is was meant to inspire perseverance. As things evolved, I realized how many people were 'allergic' to thriving for a multitude of reasons. One being that they perceived that thriving hurts. And it does at some level.

, If you are trying to force a pace on yourself then you will feel it. If you are taking a road that isn't meant for you, you will be affected. That is not saying that you shouldn't challenge yourself. Some will push through concrete to realize their vision. That's fine for them.

However, if you desire to thrive at a gentler pace, I just want you to know that it's very possible. Gentle people don't have to operate at a high level if it's not authentic. If they do, they will explode!

Since it's such an important topic, I'll be talking a lot about moving at your natural pace in future messages. For today , allow yourself to honor the pace that you operate from most comfortably.  When you feel resistance, breathe into it and either stop or move forward just a teeny bit more.

That NO Pain NO Gain philosophy is just that...someone's philosophy...it's not necessarily the truth.  

Here's to your soaring gently!
