I have always said about myself I am a survivor because I am. ~ Lee Tergesen
As I write this, I look forward to the finale of Survivor, ending its 20th season with a classic Heroes vs Villains confrontation. It doesn't really matter which side wins because it's just a game and it makes for great TV.
But the idea of Survivor hits on a central theme of life. Life has its challenges and pitfalls, heartaches and failures, disappointments and rejections. Yet, there is a resolve to carry on, to not let failure get in the way of a vital life.
As well, unlike the Survivor show of 'outwit, outplay, outlast,' which explores the mindset of screw the other guy, there are central principles at work.
How do you carry on to be the best person you can be from day to day? What makes you a bold survivor?
