Achievement– The drive to arrive comes from the fuel of Achievement and energy of success.
The drive will end up driving you to shame, blame and comparison which leads to burnout- and “repeat” of the same game……
All in the name of becoming, being and bettering ourselves we can find ourselves running from and to something without observing the purpose in the present process.
The questions we must have an answer for:
- Can I continue to grow at this pace without burnout?
- Does this give me true joy?
- Can I genuinely feel like enough without having to accomplish more?
- Where is my value?
Toxic achievement comes from the desperation to demand more now, rather than accepting the process as the purpose to discovery.
It is based on judgement- the critic that comes alive and says your worth is based on what you do or what’s been done for you or to you.
Comparison and commanding our body to do and always be better is not helpful. Avoid looking outward for reward, and focus on turning inward for peace and joy.
Look for validation from the HOW you look, what you do and where you are in our life. Rather than the WHO- Same letters just out of order- much like when we get this out of order- we lose WHO we are- we become dependent on others to propel or paralyze the evolution of “ME”.
Positive achievement rewards the space of balance with diligence. The ability to adapt when needed and be strong through it all.
It is the freedom in your current space to be still and know…. that you DO have what it takes- when you ask for more of God’s strength rather than human strength. Positive Achievement takes shape with clarity. When we can answer the WHY with integrity and not just on the waves of others dreams and drives.
When your WHY is for God, for those you love and for the world to be a better place…… your connection to this intention will be clarified and you will be able to finish stronger than you start. Further, this connection becomes our Confidence and our anchor to self-awareness.
When you trust the process rather than demand the results, your positive relationship with achievement will evolve organically.
When our aim is to be positive, productive and purposeful our work will not come out of our search for worth, but will support the development of who we are becoming.
