Meghan Markle said that life is more than just surviving, you have to thrive, so are you surviving or thriving: physically, emotionally, mentally, in your relationships, finances etc?

I am usually thriving, very blessed and grateful. Have certainly had challenges including open heart surgery but even then I was able to thrive. I don’t pay attention to celebrities or seek their advice, but to the question, I choose thriving.

It’s not about a celebrity. It’s about what she said. Anyone could have said it. It’s good to know there are ordinary people who are thriving. @trackman11

@trackman11 Oh, you [i]choose[/i] thriving? You mean like people who say they [i]choose[/i] happiness, when in fact they are mainly miserable? I don’t go for those “pretend to be something I’m not” games. I prefer authenticity.

@Carissimi I believe attitude is a choice, but life throws a lot of curves my friend. I am authentically thriving but nothing is 100%. There are very difficult days. Part of my point is that I consider myself lucky in life and often feel guilty when I see others travel a more difficult road.
