HUMP DAY HOPE WITH WEDNESDAY'S WORD: THRIVE

To thrive is to become 'strong' and to 'flourish'!!  We feel joy when we overcome the challenges that may be presented as we move toward our ultimate goals!!  When we continue to pursue our dreams, goals and aspirations, it makes sense to actually expect the unexpected!  If it doesn't happen, great!  You move forward with ease; however, when challenges do arise, you can approach them with the expectation that THEY WON'T LAST!!  You have to have the drive to thrive!!  

Think about a flower in the Spring:  it buds; it flourishes; and continues to grow.  Despite the rain, the storms, the challenges of the elements, the bug infestations, etc, the flower has a game plan... it grows new leaves and pedals.  It moves itself toward the sun and stretches to gain as much nourishment and power so that it can continue to flourish.  Some flowers can produce other buds so when the main flower is 'taken down', the 'legacy' flowers still remain!  Flowers grow in a deep foundation; they are well-rooted!  Their strength to 'live' allows them the flourish and so THEY THRIVE!!

There are many stories I can tell about my desire to thrive.  I have lived a challenged life that, in retrospect, I created for myself!!  Were there motives? Yes, but the ability for those motives to take control of my life was MY doing!  The consequences were felt tremendously and when I desired not to feel the 'pimp slap' of a trying life any longer; I yelled at it and made MY choice to thrive!!!

Do you have a game plan?  When life presents the 'preview' of its challenges, are you setting things up so that you can handle its 'debut'? To whom will you stretch toward to gain YOUR power!?!? Tell yourself that you are on this Earth for a unique purpose; tell yourself that you want to LIVE out that purpose.  Put it out there...into the universe and say, "Help me GET TO my purpose!"  Pray, plan, implement, move, live, flourish, and THRIVE!
