Life Lessons Episode 14: Survive and Thrive

Life Lessons w/ Cresta Durojaiye

This week, we are talking about going beyond surviving to thriving. Surviving means remaining alive especially after going through something tragic or unfavourable like sickness, the death of a loved one, etc. Survival is no mean feat, it is great and should be applauded, but thriving, on the other hand, is even better.

So it’s amazing to survive but after you have survived, there is still more, Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! you will need to take it a notch higher, you’ll need to pump it up to the level where you begin to soar and thrive. Thriving is taking it a notch higher, beyond surviving it you determine to grow, prosper, and flourish through it.

Thriving over a particular situation means that you have grown and graduated to the point where you are beginning to coast and deal well with what you have survived, even in cases where some others may find it extremely difficult, unpleasant or even impossible. Especially with scenarios and situations where it is ordinarily expected that you should be broken afterward, but instead you pull through.
