Life privilege

What a privilege it is to be living this day. What good fortune you have to see, to know, to learn, to give, to unite, to love.

It’s all too easy to get caught up in minor issues of the moment. All too easy to forget what a great privilege you hold, being alive right now.

Spend a few thoughts dwelling on that privilege, and the good you can do with it. Feel the power and goodness of life as it is focused in this time, in this place, through you.

Wade out into the cool, flowing stream of existence. Let this day’s possibilities invigorate you to the core.

Discover new energy in the growing awareness of all the ways you can make a difference. Experience the satisfaction of transforming your unique privilege into value that lifts up all of life.

With all it encompasses, in whatever way it has unfolded, your life itself is a great privilege. Now you have the privilege of living life for the greatest good you can envision.

— Ralph Marston
