The philosophy's basis is that "a person needs to survive and desires to thrive." Its mission is "to help a person, a people and the world achieve a survivable and thriving future." The philosophy's ultimate aspiration and ideal is "Thriving," the achievement of a survivable and thriving future for a person, a people and the world. As the ideal, "Thriving" is "a person, a people and the world surviving and thriving together." As the human endeavor, "Thriving" is "the lifelong (a person) and neverending (a people and the world) striving to survive and thrive in the current world and a survivable and thriving future world." Ideally, the person and the rest of the world are continuously and simultaneously striving with the best combination of independence and interdependence in joint pursuit of survival and thriving. Our actions are driven by our need to survive and desire to thrive but influenced by a) other persons and the surrounding world and b) the need and desire for a long term, sustainable future. Our relationship with other persons and the surrounding world is driven and governed by our need to survive and desire to thrive in the current world and a sustainable future world. The "Thrive" philosophy strives to help achieve a survivable and thriving future for a person, a people and the world. Its value lies in improving life for a person, a people and/or the world. Its greater value lies in helping a person, a people and the world survive together on a sustained basis. Its greatest value lies in helping a person, a people and the world thrive together on a sustained basis.
