A Message of Gratitude
I want to first say thank you for taking the time to read this blog post. I know that stopping to read, or stopping at all these days, is not an easy task.
Thank you, and I appreciate you!
Working with Mirajo Collective
Working with Mirajo Collective, I often have the pleasure of collaborating with women on their upcoming goals. During this process, they frequently discuss the hardships they've faced and why most of their goals feel delayed. I often hear them say, "Nothing comes easy," "Everyone has to go through hard times," or "Maybe it's just not meant for me."
The Conditioning of Hard Times
I understand this sentiment because, just like in my last blog post, I had become conditioned to expect hard times before the good ones could arrive. It felt like I was playing a cruel game with my own life.
A New Perspective on Success
What if you didn't have to suffer? What if you didn’t expect suffering? What if your only expectation was to win? Some would argue that focusing solely on winning without considering the possibility of loss would set you up for failure. However, I'm not suggesting you ignore preparation; rather, we've been conditioned to expect problems as if they're part of some kind of ritual.
Think of those cartoons where characters have to solve riddles, traverse scary dungeons, and narrowly escape death before reaching the promised treasure. Are we conditioned to expect problems? Shifting our mindset to believe that all the elements of the earth want us to succeed could change the outcome.
Rejecting the Challenge Mindset
We must stop seeing challenges as medals of honor and understand that they generally stem from a lack of something—lack of money, mentorship, self-control, or knowledge. Being honest about what we lack and seeking support reduces the impact of suffering.
After facing a mountain of problems, someone often says, "Well, all you had to do was [simple solution]." But because of our conditioning, we assume we need to go through the hard stuff to learn the lesson. While this sometimes builds resilience, in other cases, the difficulty is unnecessary. Suffering is not your birthright.
Embracing Abundance
Nature's design is rooted in abundance, and you and I deserve the best at all times. We must first believe it in our minds before we can see it in our hands. Live a life focused on addressing what is lacking and preparing for success. Winning should be the only option.
Finding Support in Community
It starts with a village mindset and finding a community that allows you to learn and grow. Mirajo Collective was created to give you people to lean on and to help you learn from others' mistakes. Join your tribe and shift from lack to abundance as you work toward the win!
