Thriving In These Strangest Of Times

Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.
— Arundhati Roy

We are here to live.

Really live. Emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, physically.

To live with energy, authenticity, joy, courage and creativity. This is thriving.

To express ourselves, to dance with the magic of the universe. To embody our passion and purpose. To give, and create, and contribute.

The blueprint has been placed inside you, always. How much has it been permitted to unfold?

Now is the time to transform, peel back a layer and thrive.

Yes, we are living through the strangest of times indeed, one that demands us to become emboldened. Emboldened in ourselves, in who we think we are, in our capacities.

To thrive is to live unafraid of death and unafraid of life. To travel on our path unafraid of fear, unafraid of joy. And if we do feel afraid of any or all of these things (which is naturally, and understandably, human), to thrive means to persevere and find the inner courage to continue.

These strangest of times affords us an opportunity to go within, do some serious/fun introspection and reemerge strengthened and renewed.

All this time, humanity has mostly been sleepwalking, on autopilot. Now is the chance to wake up, wake up out of our slumber and stupor. Have we really been thriving in those hurried, harried, stressed-out lives? Were we really present?

We have been gifted with s p a c e right now…
