About the quote

The renown Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) faced many existential challenges during his life, including a plague and several wars. Among the chaos, he pursued self-mastery while he worked to benefit his people.
This quote from his Meditations is a vivid reminder that simply being alive is a precious gift; breathing, thinking, experiencing the wonder of existence that is innate in everything. From this foundation we are free, no matter the circumstances. Too often we complicate our lives, forgetting the fundamental value of life itself. And though challenges, hardship, and even immense suffering may come, we can recall this quote to remind us that each new day is a gift to be grateful for, and thereby recognise what is truly important.
