You can do more than survive
There’s a popular misconception when it comes to advice we give and crave during difficult times:“You’ll get through this. You can do it!” “If I can survive this. . . . I can do anything.”
In life’s hard places, we rally ourselves around images of strength and courage. One of my personal favorites is the image pictured to the left. I mean, who isn’t inspired by Rosie?
And it is true: sometimes we need to just bear down and get through life. Something this is all we have the energy for. We live to see another day. (And this is good!) But is this the summation of life? Survival?
