Beyond Survival
"The world and it's strategies may help you to survive for a long time, but they cannot help you live because the world is not the source of its own life, let alone yours." - Nouwen.
And I've been un-learning all the ways to survive. Though those ways have their place in time, Surviving isn't living... it's just not dying. Surviving is like living at the bare minimum, it's getting by.
Apparently, we are made for more than survival.
We are made to Thrive.
Which sounds like we are made to explode with Life all over the place.
In my case, it's only going to come about by letting go of survival strategies...
Just something I've been thinking, learning, listening to of late...
