"When you wake up in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive. To breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." - Marcus Aurelius
Gratitude.
To give thanks for what we've been blessed with.
To be to take a deep breath of the air surrounding us.
To be able to use our minds to make decisions.
To be able to have thoughts and opinions.
To be able to smell nature around us.
To be able to experience and feel love in our hearts.
To simply be alive.
It has been estimated that the probability of each of us being born is about 1 in 400 trillion.
Consider that for a moment.
Consider simply, how fortunate we each are to simply be alive.
To be born.
To be able to live the lives that we each live.
Ask yourself, how often do you forget this?
Too often, we take our own existence for granted.
We forget about what is important.
Give thanks and gratitude daily.

Strive to live, live to strive.
