104. Thriving

Thriving is a buzzword that's been thrown around a lot lately. We're all searching for ways to improve our lives, to be happier, to be healthier, to be more successful. You hear missionaries say that they are thriving on their mission. Or you hear return missionaries say that their dating lives are thriving...But what does it really mean to thrive? Is it about achieving external goals or manifesting a certain lifestyle? Or is it something deeper, more intrinsic? In this podcast, we'll explore the idea that thriving is about what is within us, rather than something that is manifested outside. We'll discuss how thriving does not mean the absence of struggle, but rather, it means persevering through the winters and stormy months. We'll also touch on how we can fall into the trap of using the idea of thriving to work against ourselves, and how our unrealistic expectations can hinder our ability to truly thrive. Finally, we'll touch on the cyclical nature of thriving, and why it's important to acknowledge that not every season will be a blooming spring or a sunny summer. Join us as we explore how thriving is not just a destination but a journey within ourselves.   Listen in to Learn: How to make the stormy times a little lighter What you can do today to "thrive" out in the mission field (or any other aspect of life)   Website | Instagram | Facebook Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary Free Strategy Call:   Click Here
