35 Memes Surviving and Thriving

People love to talk about the difference between surviving and thriving. Surviving, we say, Is just about having your basic needs met. You have a place to sleep, you're getting up in the morning, you're eating meals… but you're not really enjoying it. You're doing the bare minimum, but anything more than that seems impossible. Thriving, though, is all the basic tenets of surviving plus having fun while doing them. 

This is ideally where we would like to be most of the time. We're having fun, we're growing, we're pushing ourselves, and we're doing a good job of all of the above. When you're surviving, it can sometimes it can be hard to push yourself over into the realm of thriving. It may take a good friend shaking you up out of your glum, a vacation from your normal life, or just a commitment to going to the gym the next morning.
