Earlier this week I had a short phone conversation with a dear girlfriend who lives several thousand miles away from me. We don’t see each other very often, but when we connect, we easily pick right up right where we left things the last time we spoke.

In our 20-minutes together we went deep, like we often do, and as we were saying our good-byes we both expressed our gratitude for each other, our friendship, and our ability to get so profound and real with each other so quickly.

I love being able to do this with women because I can’t go to these depths with everyone in my life. These conversations feed me, fuel me, and make me feel less like an anomaly. When I can speak freely and dive deep in conversation with others, I feel like I’m with my tribe, my peeps, and my soul sisters.

After I got off of the phone, I thought a lot about what it is, exactly, that feels so rare and juicy about these talks, and why I sometimes still feel like the “white sheep” (I prefer this to “black sheep”) in the room. To be clear, I like who I am, how I think about things and how I do things. I have no desire to be like everyone else.

But I don’t like to engage in a lot of negativity either – whether it’s in a conversation, engaging with the new or media, or even if it’s in my own head. Negativity doesn’t feel good, nor does it feel very empowering. And my goodness! There’s a lot of negativity out there!

Even though I choose to be a little (or a lot…) different from the vast majority of people in the world, being different from others can still bring up a familiar pain in my heart, and a twinge of loneliness, even when I’m surrounded by people.

So, when I’m engaged in a conversation with someone who’s speaking the same language I’m speaking, who is prioritizing an extraordinary life for herself, and who is willing to be courageous enough to be more of who she is instead of shrinking and hiding, I feel inspired and motivated to do the same.

This is the magic, power, and immense value of community and tribe.

I see a lot of women today who are struggling – to be happy, to be healthy, to be positive and successful, and to feel good about themselves and where they’re at in their lives. I recognize it well because I used to be in that same place of subtle yet constant suffering.

When you’re struggling, every day is a battle with yourself. Low energy, even lower self-esteem, and a deep belief that you have to work harder, faster and longer to prove your worth – all of these start to run your life. And before you know it, you’re feeling resentful, exhausted, empty, and overwhelmed. There is no joy in this. This is no way to really live.

One of the most powerful things I’ve learned over the years is that struggle is optional. It really is.

Struggle is actually a mindset and an orientation to life itself. Whether you realize it or not, it is a choice to continue to live that way.

My question for you is, do you really want to live a life of struggle?

If you’re fine and content with where you’re at in your life, you’re happy with the community and daily conversations you share, and if you love how your life looks and feels, then what I’m about to share may not be for you.

But if you know that there is something more for you to discover, and you’re not certain how to do that…

If you think about living a bigger, happier, more beautiful and fulfilling life, but you’re afraid it might not happen for you…

If you have big desires, even bigger dreams, and an unexplainable inner drive to experience, enjoy, and celebrate life fully, but you feel held back in some way…
