What Does It Mean To Thrive?
During my short journey in life thus far I have been fascinated with the process to become successful. Constantly reading stories and watching documentaries of successful people from musicians, entrepreneurs, athletes, to famous authors and actors. I even took the obsession farther by watching animal planet every night to see the process of a successful hunt for animals. Every day in high school when the day was over I had to rush to the bus stop to catch the city bus home and I always saw this particular father pick up his son in the most expensive looking car I’ve ever seen.

That perplexed me for a long time because I never could grasp the meaning on how to thrive.
