Thrive

Daniel, Emily, and Daina conclude their podcast mini-series by discussing the concept of thriving, with Daina explaining her frustration that many people have accepted that thriving is not an option for them and her desire to reignite hope in listeners who need to "get up and start running again." Emily describes thriving as living your best life through alignment and intentional choices rather than having everything be perfect, while Daina shares her formula of doing the work, executing the plan, and acknowledging God as her source, emphasizing that this cycle now happens quickly in her daily life as evidence of her growth. Daniel connects thriving to childlike wonder and unencumbered freedom, explaining how gratitude during successful moments changes one's relationship with hard work by creating positive associations with effort, and he encourages listeners to identify moments of thriving in their lives and appreciate the steps that led there.
