The Rules Are Different

Life Beyond Code got me to thinking today about the difference in Succeeding and Thriving. 

You don't have to be the best to be successful in life.

But if you want to thrive, really thrive, then the game is different. The rules are different.  Good becomes the enemy of the Best.

And I would add that being successful isn't a requirement for thriving. Thriving is a journey, a modus operandi.  It may be a good strategy for obtaining success - but it's a payoff in and of itself, regardless.
