My good fortune

​As I run alongside my kids on their bikes on our way to school, I can't help but feel grateful for the life I have and the place I live. I am grateful that my family and I are safe and have access to everything we need and could ever possibly want, from food and water to social and infrastructure services, education culture travel and entertainment, and all at our disposal, often at the click of a button.

I am grateful that I was born healthy, in a time of abundance, in a wealthy country with a rich culture and history, and with the freedom to pursue my dreams. I have met the love of my life and together we have two beautiful, healthy, and intelligent kids.

I know that I have won the lottery of life, and I have done nothing to deserve this kind of head start. In the grand scheme of things, I have done very little to progress forward either, it all came by itself.

Today, I acknowledge my good fortune and the abundance around me, and I am reminded that I am truly blessed.
