Will & The Continuous Instinct To Survive
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.
The knack For Progression Is Inbuilt
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.
Ground Zero: Can You Defy The Odds?
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.

Lol isn’t that truly the case though? I think this illusion is a much needed driving force to keep pushing. We would fall off without it.
The odds are very difficult to beat especially coming from a system designed to keep you down. One thing for sure though is that you won’t be beating any odds if you don’t have fire burning in you to come up and be great.
Yeah, it creates this illusion in the mind and sometimes it propels us, but the downside is that what propels us can create haste, which causes bad decisions on our end, even if the initial plan was to make progress.
The human anatomy; the mind is such an amazing piece of gem
You're right about beating the odds, it's not everyone who can bring out that superhuman ability, but when people do, it's beautiful

I could say the will to survive and grow my account is what keeps me glued and determined on this Blockchain 😊😌
Many people choose to remain complacent of their present situation either because they still have someone who is helping them, but when the opportunity is gone, he or she would be willing to thrive just to survive and there is nothing we wouldn't be able to do when we need to live.
We humans are like that. Comfortable situation creates complacent people, this is how it's always been. But challenges often reminds us to do better. As per your account, you're absolutely doing well and keeping it going. One thing about hive is that if you miss a step, it comes with consequences. So that consistency is really key.

The will to survive is fundamentally what keeps us living. It transcends to everything we do. But I dig that isn't far different from the will to thrive, and the gap between them is something I'd call the mediocre's abode.
It can be translated to Hive, I guess. For example, it's the will to thrive that keeps one invested in the system; the long-term goals; the instinct to build; mortifying the "get-rich-quick" mentality.
Yeah, the will to survive and thrive shares a tiny boundary, sometimes the the former births the latter, especially amongst people whose resilience and doggedness have paved way for them.
Not just hive, every time I've hit the internet looking to survive, my will to survive is the only thing that keeps me going

I agree that most people tend to do that when they are desperate to survive. Otherwise, people will just default back on what they know and try to live their life as comfortably as they can. When push comes to shove, people will do whats needed but they need the will or desire to do so.

This is the truth. I've seen people doing despicable things all for money and in the bid to survive, it goes to show that we can go any length to keep our soul and body together.

I think it's a magical moment when for some unfortunate reason/situation, a person's will gets activated and you start seeing them doing seemingly miraculous things, defying odds and breaking limits to achieve what they've set out to do. This innate ability is in everyone of us and it somehow takes a charged polarity from the other end to activate it. It seems that not everyone is able to 'use' it and like you mentioned above, it is a double-edged sword.
The innate ability is in everyone. However, I do believe we do not push ourselves enough to these limits and for some reason, it comes with it's own advantages. However, we can do anything for survival especially if push comes to shove.

Life is all about survival and we can see that from wildlife. Survival has always been the tool that brings out the best in us.

Hahaha you're right my man, it's always about survival as we're alive and fighting to thrive and create some better situations for ourselves..

And more often than not, our instincts are always right. Most people see it as thinking outside the box and you'd agree that thinking outside the box is one way to achieve goals .
Your article just reminded of the popular quote; when there's a will, there's a way.
Yes, thinking outside the box, is one way of achieving the unthinkable. It's in the human nature to want more, because we're progressive by default. Only certain circumstances can change this.

Little wonder why my economics teacher kept stress the point that humans needs are insatiable.
At first, I saw it all as greed but as I grew, I was able to differentiate between greed and drive.
I would say that those who take action every day are on the right path to defy the odds. Once this gets compounded you start a great chain-reaction towards reaching your goals.
You're right, constant action on a daily basis means that people are on course, even if they didn't have the chance to do so initially

Fact! When we are at our comfort zone, we become more dependant and hustling spirit seem to die. Moreover, the power of brain cell are harnessed fully unlike when we are challenged. I heard that some good technological inventions are babies born during the wars. For instance, Nigerian civil wars and World war 2 have challenged people especially the victim to devise ways to survive, thrive and overcome.
Many people starts from ground zero. Its a good place to start before one is not afraid to lose anything. It fuels the desire to be great. There are many successful stories of people that start from them and at the top echelon now but still remember the lessons of where they are from.
The fundamental human rights is important and should be upheld religiously. Hunger can makes one behaves indecently and those with food will thinks that such reasons can't justified the cause. In hunger state, the will and energy can be challenged but the resilient spirit can't be diminish but keep shining whether small. I have learnt wonderful lessons of being hopeful and such hope keeps the will to survive alive no matter my status at any point in time.
Fact! Many can't see the clear difference in both. Although they can only work together. Its very important for have them to survive and thrive. To illustrate, poor people only thinks of having money while the rich only looks for means to spend, invest and utilize the money for their benefit.
Thanks for the summary. Indeed

No one wants to face difficulties, is true because most people become creative to work hard during such a times, when someone determine he can do it, he will so do it, because man's can truly solve things for himself. But a person shouldn't be waiting to begins things on those times alone, to plan ahead of time would help matters more.
The idea is that the knack for survival comes when we're pushed to the wall. The will of a man is probably one of greatest intrinsic asset. So sometimes we reminisce all our struggles and associates our wins to the will we have.
