People get creative when they need to survive. Our capacity to solve problems magnifies itself when circumstances become too hard to bear. In our natural state, we do not like threatening situations that unsettle our mental state, but because our will to survive is the principal thing, we're often reminded that we're problem-solving machines.
The will to survive is the primary aim of everyone, when people have secured this primary need, this is when they evolve into something else.
We're procedural in nature, our capacity to learn is continuous, and we do not leave questions answered. This is why we're never satisfied with the basis of anything.
We have come to understand that living might be a gift, but thriving is born from sheer determination, and this is why people decided to thrive and enjoy the evidence of living to the fullest capacity.
Money and means are very important. Whether we need to survive or thrive, we need it
....however, when push comes to shove, our primary aim is to secure our lives, because we already know that having the proof of life creates endless possibilities even if we're challenged we start from ground zero.
For example, hunger and insecurity are a direct threat to our lives, when we don't firstly overcome them, there's no way we can secondarily think of making meaning to our lives, this is why we firstly survive before we think of thriving.
Our needs are different, this is why our will is often dependent and embedded in our natural bucket list. Irrespective of what drives our will, there's always an intrinsic need to conquer, and this will is exactly what's priceless.
Will is a resolve we cannot underestimate, this is why we can go from being a dreamer to an accomplisher when we want to. As humans, we know our limits, but sometimes we reject these limits and the parameters that form them because we believe we can achieve more.
*Will is one reason why people start from ground zero, with no connections, no investment, no backup, and no one to call in favors.
Connections are like headlights in a dark Alley full Of Opportunities
Sometimes will takes away the logical assessment of danger, I'm not saying we shouldn't access the possibility of danger.
Sometimes, our ability to measure risk dies because our resolve to win blinds us to the possibility of risk. One of the things that stagnancy does to us is to create the illusion that anywhere is better than where we are stuck in.
This is why we prefer to keep moving, even if progress is not substantial, provided there's proof of progress. This is why will is a double-edged sword, when we fail, it become foolhardiness, and when we succeed, we can easily call it bravery.
The Will to survive might be inborn, but it's a trait that mostly suffices when we're threatened
This is an entirely different thing when it comes to the will to thrive. The former is inborn, the latter becomes part of us as we grow and it often manifests, when we're motivated.
Seeing a millionaire who started from nothing might give one the motivation that, ground zero isn't such a bad place, to begin with. Originally we know that most of the wealthiest people are heavily connected, they never started from ground zero and they had powerful backing, this sense of rationality often reminds us of life's cruelty.
Nevertheless, this doesn't change the fact that every day there are people who defy the odds.
These people are the ones who manifested the Will even when danger, the possibility of failure, and disappointment are present, they still went overboard, beyond the parameters of logic to achieve the unthinkable.
Nevertheless, everyone needs an amplifier, a purpose to latch on to, if not, mediocrity becomes a place of satisfaction where people see no reason to leave.
