Hmm ... I think you brought out a good point, about the meaning of thriving. Oftentimes I have to circle back to my question to find the answer. I think thriving means not to have to go against the flow, but be in alignment, so that there is a sense of natural ease. I think what I am sensing is that while I try to be in my own flow, I find that the people and things around me are shoving and pushing me to be what I am not, hence the question on how do I survive in this world. Surely it would not feel right to be pushed and shoved.
