what a precious privilege it is to be alive

Happy wise Wednesday. Our positive quote of the day states: “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love,” by Marcus Aurelius. We have become so consumed by a false sense of entitlement. Many of the privileges we enjoy came with a hefty price including our salvation and freedom. Instead of taking the attitude that this is my right, how about we start to think that driving, working, personal relationships, walking on the beach, traveling, and attending school as privileges. If we did, there would be less road rage, appreciation for our jobs and relationships, less disruptions in schools and on planes, and people might just care for our beaches instead of polluting them with trash. In fact, Life itself is a privilege; not an entitlement. #Beinspired #Privilege #LuminousQuotes
