In many cases, when people finally take action to pursue their dreams, they encounter obstacle after obstacle, hitting wall after wall. Achieving their goals might seem impossible. Then, the worst thing happens: they begin to question whether those dreams are even meant to be. 

Sound familiar? 

​​​​​​​What if it wasn’t that way? What if, when your path took an unexpected turn, you had the mindset that empowered you to simply adjust and stay the course? 

That deep sense of calm, of knowing, and of confidence comes from one thing: an unshakeable foundation. 

An unshakeable foundation is the single most important factor in living a life you absolutely love. 

Here’s the thing…

If you don’t build an unshakeable foundation before you pursue your dreams, life will knock you down.

But challenges and disappointments aren’t an excuse to quit—quitting is contraction. Rather, challenges and disappointments are an opportunity to expand, to connect, and to get the support and guidance you need to find your next step. 

That’s why having an unshakeable foundation is so important—without one, you may see obstacles instead of opportunities. Which essentially means you’re trapped!

But when you have an unshakeable foundation, you … 

• Are able to see the other side of a situation when life gives you something unexpected. 
• Have the confidence to take risks and pursue ideas—because you know you’ll be okay, no matter what. 
• Give yourself the gift of pursuing the greatness you’re here to pursue, rising above mediocrity. 
• Have the courage to keep moving forward!

Of course, by now you know that I wouldn’t just tell you what you need without giving you the support to back it up! 

Here are some tips for building an unshakeable foundation, so you can become unstoppable in the pursuit of your dreams!

1. Find a higher power to believe in and rely on.

When you connect with your higher power, you begin to realize that you’re never out of options. Although you may not know how a difficult situation will turn out, you can calmly proceed with your plan, knowing the higher power will present a solution. 

Living with a higher-power-centered mentality will change your life! It will give you a mindset that is based on trust, which enables you to live fearlessly. Fear is the one emotion that can keep you from pursuing your dream life. So, eliminating fear from your life puts you in an unbelievably powerful position: as the co-creator of your life.

2. Surrender. ​​​​​​​

Surrender to letting things unfold the way they are meant to. Surrender to knowing that when something isn’t working, it’s because something greater is coming.

In your pursuit of your wildest dreams, your best life, you may feel tempted to push, to work hard, all the time. Action gives you a sense of control, doesn’t it? As if, by doing, you can create change.

So, you may have just cringed when you read the word “surrender.” Giving up control feels almost like giving up, doesn’t it? (I get it! There is one version of Britta who loves planning every single detail!)

But the truth is, the universe has set us up to win, to overcome everything that comes your way. Life is about expansion—which means that you must be on the lookout for solutions to your problems, the messages you need to hear, and the resources you need to grasp. 

Surrendering to the universe opens up the space necessary for the universe (or whatever your higher power is) to co-create with you. 

Surrendering opens you up to receiving.​​​​​​​

If you’re constantly in “go” energy, you’re not able to receive the support, strength, and courage you need from others to break through. 

Which often results in feeling stressed, exhausted, and alone. 

But when you surrender, you gain access to universal strength and courage.
