One who thrives.

To thrive is to have achieved and moved beyond mere survival into something greater. A survivor can become a thriver when they have battled and overcome their demons, learned to love themselves, speak the truth, and refuse to use, harm, or otherwise take advantage of others in pursuit of their goals.

Thrivers not only speak their principles but act according to them: they are real.

Because they walk their talk and affirm truth, a thriver can be more loyal and trustworthy than a survivor because they recognize it can be more difficult to fulfill one's needs and achieve one's goals if it is done at the expense of anothers' well-being. Thrivers are win-win people, whereas survivors many be either win-win, win-lose, or even lose-lose in some high-risk or self-destructive cases (which can lead to a failure to survive, .i.e. death).

Those who thrive live more meaningful, joyful, and abundant lives. They have taken control of their own life path, the path on which they can reach their full potential and unleash their greatness for the betterment of self, family, and the world.
"Many will use you and lie to survive, but those who are righteous and real shall thrive."

"He stole from me because that's what he knows. That's what he does to survive. But I think he's got what it takes to be a thriver. He came clean about what he jacked without me having to call him out."
