Humans have a vast base of knowledge — often gathered through pain and loss — about how to survive. We also have wisdom about thriving. It's useful to discern one from the other.

When we're in the forest, there are threats. Watch where you step! A forest has obstacles that can hurt our bodies. Beware what you eat! A forest can have berries and mushrooms that are beautiful… and deadly. Be aware all around you! A forest can have predators that can kill us… and even cute little skunks can smell up our day.

Those who have lived in a territory have wisdom about how to survive there. It's unwise to be ignorant of such wisdom, and it's dangerous to ignore it. That's wisdom for surviving.

In every human activity — sport, relationship, profession, hobby — there is wisdom for surviving. It's useful to learn such wisdom, even if we choose to consciously take risks others would not.

In the forest, there are sounds, smells, and sights! Look closely and discover wonders aplenty. Soften your eyes and take in nature in its glory. Feel how each new section of the trail changes how you move and relate to your surroundings.

What textures attract you? How does it feel when the sun breaks through the trees and shines on your heart? Notice how past death and fresh sprouts exist in the same sliver of the whole. Breathe it in. Exhale whatever you no longer need.

That is wisdom for thriving. Same forest.

Wisdom for surviving helps us confidently explore our thriving.

But what if we're short of useful wisdom on surviving in a particular place or situation? In such cases, wise guides are useful. They can help those with less depth of knowledge and experience navigate with safety… and hold space for curious exploration.
