There's a deep, if adorably stated truth here for us all.
I suspect that most of us have been through really tough times.
The problem with having survived tough times is that it can habituate us to thinking that our ability to endure is something we're supposed to be proving time and time again.
But what allows us to survive is not the same as what allows us to thrive.
Resilience is not a virtue.
It's simply what gives us the means to figure out what thriving might look like for us next.
@MLClark Thank you. As a child of depression era parents, we were taught to be resilient to survive and it did help. But that doesn’t mean it’s the best way to live. I appreciate how younger generations want to change this.
