February: On Life

February 4

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Joe Abercrombie's fantasy novel The Blade Itself.

The dance with Death begins the moment you’re born.

And despite the never-ending and creative ways the world could do you in, you're still alive. You're still here. 

So the next time you feel a little beat up by others, or worn down by the grind of modern life, please just take a moment—stop what you’re doing and mutter the words, “I am still alive.” 

Because while you’re still alive, you can do anything.

• Reflection title: Still Alive?
• Creative inspiration: Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself
• Reflection Question: I am still alive, so what will I do with this gift today?
