Many of us go through life focused on just surviving, but there is so much more awaiting us if we embrace the mindset of thriving. In Beyond Survival to Thriving: Empowering Stories & Advice from Women Balancing Faith, Careers, Businesses, and Relationships, I had the privilege of co-authoring a book that explores how women from all walks of life have moved from merely getting by to living in abundance, grace, and fulfillment.
One of the lessons I’ve learned throughout my journey is that thriving isn’t about having a perfect life. It’s about growing through challenges, learning from failures, and never giving up on yourself or your purpose. It’s also about building a support system—faith, family, mentors, and community—that helps you rise above setbacks. I encourage you today: Don’t settle for just surviving. Choose to thrive. Your purpose depends on it.
Thriving requires intentional action. It means taking daily steps toward your personal and professional goals, while also nourishing your spiritual well-being. Surround yourself with people who uplift you and push you beyond your comfort zone. When you commit to thriving, you become an example to others of what is possible when faith, determination, and resilience intersect.
