Living in Breakthrough

<p>I love sharing my daily adventures… especially when they involve a gorgeous, sunny day in Hawaii or an epic alpine lake in Alaska! But social media shows a <strong>filtered </strong>version of peoples’ lives - sometimes literally. No one has this super happy blissed-out life where it’s gorgeous views and amazing fulfilling adventures all the time. That’s only <i>half </i>the picture. And while we may not see the messy sides as often, those messy sides are just as important – and necessary – to live a life in breakthrough.</p><p>The work we all do - meditation, yoga, thought work, etc - doesn't lead to a 100% blissed-out life for any of us because we’re humans in a body with a human brain. It's not supposed to be that way. Life is a contrast between suffering and joy, right? Yin and yang. And some types of suffering I have come to recognize and even welcome.</p><p>One of those types of suffering is what I want to focus on today: <strong>the breakdown before the breakthrough.</strong></p><p>We’ve all experienced that moment when we’re on a path of growth, but we go through a tough time that spans between the way we think and live <strong>now </strong>and the way we think and live once we have achieved our goal or gotten to that <strong>next </strong>area of growth.</p><p>We may feel like we’re never going to achieve our goals and everything seems to...suck. This is where lots of people give up – in the breakdown before the breakthrough.</p><p>But what we don’t realize is that if we keep persevering, we will eventually have a breakthrough, that result we’ve been working for.</p><p>This is why massive action is so essential – taking action until we get our result, no matter what. We <strong>never know</strong> how close we are, so we need to commit and keep going for it because too many of us stop right before our result is about to happen.</p><p>And when that breakthrough happens, it’s MIND BLOWING! So it’s worth being in the discomfort.</p><p>Also: that moment of breakdown is a cycle inherent in all of our lives
