June 25 – Are you all in? Does being all in for something you want cause you to believe you must give up other things? Are you sacrificing things or relationships you would prefer not to sacrifice in time or attention? Do you believe that you must make sacrifices like these in order to realize your ultimate desires?
Too many people believe achieving goals means you must sacrifice other things. This is a limiting mindset, not one for thriving. This limiting mindset could also likely be limiting your thinking towards pursuing what you ultimately desire as well. Being committed to something should not be limiting; it should be expanding. It is a mindset of belief in oneself, conviction, resolve and open-mindedness to see opportunities and options, and then embrace them with gusto for all that they can be.
Take an MM&I Moment to reawaken your commitment to achieve what you most desire without sacrificing what else is important to you. What are you sacrificing right now that you wish was not the case? List these things and then consider the possibility of how re-engaging with these aspects of your life could add greater satisfaction as you journey toward reaching your dreams. What we value and appreciate in life should never take a back burner. Once we realize it is the joy from what we love that makes achieving our dreams even richer, we open ourselves to a level of gratification that is awe-inspiring. It is by not sacrificing that you open the floodgates to true achievement, satisfaction and contentment. When you find joy in living while striving, you replace surviving with thriving.
