Every habit, no matter how detrimental you perceive it to be on the surface, serves a conscious or unconscious purpose.

That habit that you may find challenging to break most likely meets a need or fulfills a desire, often linked to your deepest fears, insecurities, or unmet needs.

Acknowledging this doesn't mean condoning the behavior but rather bringing it to the surface and understanding it.

Consciously or unconsciously, you are perceiving that there's more advantage than disadvantage in doing that behavior, or you wouldn't be doing it.

This can be challenging for people who have bought into the story that they are powerless in the face of temptation, weak, undisciplined, procrastinative and unmotivated.

Hearing that they likely are continuing with that habit because that habit is serving them in some ways, can be a lot to wrap their brains around but liberating when they do.

So, instead of viewing them solely as behaviors to be eradicated, it is wise to see them as indicators of deeper needs and drives. This involves taking a deep dive into your hierarchy of values, getting clear on what intrinsically drives you, and any conscious or unconscious benefits you’re getting from the habit you’re trying to shift.

Support and challenge is a part of life.

The key is to pursue challenges that inspire you, challenges that are aligned with what you value most, so you don't have to fill your day with challenges that don't.

When you do, you will see challenge as an opportunity.
Fill each day with what inspires you, to get the most out of your life.

You’re capable of doing so much more than you may give yourself credit for – and it begins with your perceptions.

You’ve the capacity to take whatever happens to you and turn it into an opportunity.

With neuroplasticity and epigenetics, you can modify whatever happens in your life and turn it into something meaningful and inspiring.

The clearer your ultimate purpose, the more effectively you’ll fulfil it. When you listen to your inner voice, you can hear your life’s calling or inspired purpose. Once you begin fulfilling this purpose, you’re inspired to achieve and accomplish dreams that might once have seemed impossible.

Living in alignment with your highest values is key to mastering your life and living an inspired vision. Without a clear purpose, a person can swing back and forth, like a giant pendulum, from one extreme to the other in their thoughts, emotions, actions, and inactions.
