EP: 17 Survival Is Not The Enemy, The #Sparked Life Podcast

Purpose Peep,

Have you heard statements that pit surviving against thriving? Some sound like, “go from surviving to thriving.” I went so far in one of my tag lines to say, “end survival as a lifestyle to thrive in your life of purpose.” During my exploration of yes/and strategies, I heard the divide and could see another possibility.

Surviving and thriving are not at war with one another or at opposite ends of a spectrum. We are wired to kick into survival mode when needed and to return to our homestate when the danger is no longer present. The issue lies in staying in survival mode in a defensive posture, which can be problematic to thriving in life, which requires being open, vulnerable and available to our path to purpose journey and experiences.

I realized my desired outcome for myself and clients is not to end survival as a lifestyle but to transform survival as a lifestyle by letting it be just what it is–a temporary strategy. We are all living through temporary survival strategies as our response to the COVID19 pandemic. Life will shift as we live and heal through this experience.

I believe that as we co-create our new normal, what we learn and cultivate during this time will become the bedrock, the strong foundation, for what will come. In this episode, let’s unlock and face our survival patterns of old and hold them up to the light of now and who we are becoming as Purpose Peeps.

Listen here.

Announcing The COVID19 Support Page

Being a light in the storm of major, transformational change is rooted in who we are as Purpose Peeps. Allow the storm to reveal our inner gifts and new ways to cooperate in times of complex considerations. Be a demonstration of possibility for those who will read the stories of our responses for years to come. For many who seek legacy, this is it. We are cocreating it now.

When reflecting on what is in my hands, my inner and physical resources that hold the most value and relevance, a blank web page with a purpose perspective is a powerful combination. Given my understanding of transformational change, with the level of disruption and the concerns, we hold as compassionate human beings who know every number is a person, our capacity to absorb is limited.

We actually increase in capacity by release. Release can mean:

Letting go of our plans and accepting what is,
Stop fighting what we can not control and embracing our new spheres of impact, and influence, and/or
Being vulnerable enough to admit what we do not know.

Release also happens when we let the masks fall. You know, the masks that allow us to blend and gain a level of acceptance. Masks take energy to keep up and energy and capacity are optimal inner resources to tap into creativity, ingenuity and resolve.

On this resource page, you will find free resources to support you, your family and circles of Purpose Peeps. We are in a unique time when we are collectively experiencing the same driver of change and call to action–as many Purpose Peeps coming through this viral experience (blog for another time) with their higher wisdom and inner resources to rebuild our lives. Consider:

Using the S/Hero’s Journey to unlock our journey to the rewards that we will bring to our rebuild (youth & adults),
Unlocking Being a Helper At This Time (younger Purpose Peeps),
Creative Resources to help us calm, regroup and express ourselves,
Thought leadership, resources, and conversations with members of the Global Purpose Leaders community
Wall of Inspiration

and more, which is updated continually.

Here’s a message from my heart!
