The LIFE model suggests that people need five things in order to thrive:
- A place to belong
- To receive and give life
- The capacity to recover from things that go wrong (desynchronizations)
- Maturation
- To live from their identities (hearts)
These elements develop when we share joy and sorrows together as natural and spiritual families in peaceful homes. The LIFE Model covers both our growth and recovery. These five elements apply whether we consider physical growth, emotional growth, family growth, community growth or spiritual growth. Taken in order from one to five, these elements are needed for strong and healthy human growth. Taken in reverse order, starting with living from our true identities, these same elements form an excellent diagnostic grid for a failure to thrive.
