The past few weeks I have been reading a book written by David Nurse called Pivot & Go. If you are looking for an easy read and a book with all sorts of lifestyle tips and tricks, this is the book for you! I get incredibly excited each day to pick up this book and read it.
Essentially, Pivot & Go is a 29-Day Blueprint to Redefine and Achieve YOUR Success.
Today I want to share a brief section from the book that I was deeply encouraged by.

It's all about pivoting the mindset from surviving to thriving. Waking up each morning and understanding the day ahead is an opportunity to thrive. Going to work and positively encouraging someone, empowering a co-worker to reach new limits they never thought they could hit. Swallowing the car inspection cost because you know your bank account isn't what gives you joy and stability-it's the safety of the family at home, the kids waiting for you to scoop them up for hugs the moment you walk in the door. It's the ability to live each day with the full-plate mentality: knowing that God is going to fill your plate up with only the things you will get done in that one day, giving you the comfort and contentment of knowing you did all you could for the day with the plate you were given and that your plate will be filled again tomorrow. It's a full-plate mentality that allows us to shut off the surfing worries and turn on the thriving power. It's not an endless buffet mentality, where we suffocate ourselves.
Matthew 6:26-27: "Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in the barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
We are all going to have struggles throughout the day. It's just how life is. However, the confidence we gain by going through these challenging times, knowing we will make it through no matter what gets thrown our way makes everything in life better. We come out the other side stronger, with an even deeper knowledge of our true selves.
