Let’s talk about
striving. You know, that urge, impulse, nagging
feeling, intuition, and dream to accomplish more?
Like many of
you, I am someone with a perpetual list of to-dos, want-to-dos, and need-to-dos.
Certainly, there are things that simply have to get done in order for life to
remain calm and chaos-free. Things like: getting headlights repaired, doing taxes,
and getting enough rest. But, those things are not my strivings; those things
are my do-ings.
Strivings are
quite different. Strivings are the MUST do. You know, those things, activities,
adventures, goals, moments that you go after because they bring depth and color
into your life? Yea, those things.
Think about it
this way: The concept of striving can be synonymous with hustling.
The term
“hustle” has become so catchy…and for good reason. That drive keeps us on our
toes, keeps things vibrant, and keeps us constantly evolving. On occasion, the hustle may intimidate us;
Remember, growing pains are painful, but oh-so necessary. It’s in the hustle
that we understand who we truly are. This striving informs us of what is
important to us. Throughout the day, when you take notice of that “need-to-hustle”,
embrace it.

you been striving for lately?
