STRIVE - the Book

After a long and transformative process, I am beyond grateful to share that I have written a book—the STRIVE Cards Methodology Book. This book has been years in the making, evolving alongside the development of the STRIVE Cards themselves. This work has been a long yet rewarding process, driven by the real-life needs I’ve observed over time and a desire to help others navigate the complex paths of personal and professional growth.

The STRIVE Cards came to life from a simple idea: to provide a resource that reflects the experiences, challenges, and opportunities many of us encounter daily. Each card encapsulates a value as a unique aspect for growth. They are designed to empower individuals to unlock their potential and establish a deeper connection with their authentic selves may it be on a solo journey or in a group.

Many of us find ourselves in a constant state of flux, with our values and beliefs shifting as we encounter new experiences. This journey is as unpredictable as it is transformative, and it requires a supportive toolkit that encourages introspection and adaptability. The STRIVE Cards Methodology Book is intended to be that toolkit, serving as a guide not only for using the STRIVE Cards but also for fostering personal growth and self-awareness.

What's truly remarkable is that this tool -cards in combination with the book - is more than just a manual; it is an invitation to embrace the full spectrum of our being. The STRIVE Cards methodology encourages us to explore our core values and beliefs, reminding us that, although they may evolve, they remain at the center of our personal journeys. Through the cards, we can reflect on our experiences and learning, gaining insights that inform our growth and aspirations.

I would also like to share about the idea behind the name, as it took me a moment to come up with “strive” as a concept, where in the early copy I wrote: “The joy of authenticity is not about reaching it. It’s about striving.” It’s so important to embrace the importance of the process and honouring the present moments in which we are.

I would also like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Anthony Myers, who graciously stepped into the role of editor and mentor throughout this endeavor. His kindness, insights, and guidance have been instrumental in shaping this book into what it is today. I'm incredibly thankful for the time and energy he invested in helping bring the STRIVE Cards Methodology Book to fruition.

As I release this book into the world, I invite you to keep an open mind and embrace the transformative potential that lies within. May the STRIVE Cards inspire you to explore your capabilities, tackle challenges head-on, and cultivate the skills necessary to thrive.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I can’t wait to hear how the STRIVE Cards impact your life and assist you in your growth story!
