The Thrive Paradigm
I developed this paradigm for Thriving that I try to live by. Everyone should have their own unique paradigm that they live by based on their own unique way of being fulfilled in life. Here is mine.
1. Prioritize Flow State.
2. Be engaged - the result of discipline.
3. Be loyal to vitality-energy.
4. Delight.
5. Gra! - be gracious/grateful before it is required.
6. Achieve peaceful abundance.
1. Prioritize Flow State
This takes knowing oneself quite well and knowing flow state. Tasting flow state is only possible through discipline. Engaging something over and over again, consistently, regardless of if you want to or not, pushing into the uncomfortable territory slightly beyond what your limit is, the commitment to consistency and self-training. Seeing the sculpture within the slab of rock and committing to carving away until it is revealed. Doing the reps. Doing them no matter what.
This is the basis of “Flow State.” Without this commitment and persistence and determination, Flow State is a pipe dream.
