Quotes To Live By

Quote #115: Karen Weissert

Hi Everyone! I'm Karen Weissert, a member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. A quote that I find very meaningful is, "Life is a gift that is given and will be taken. How we choose to spend our time here is our gift to life. It is our way of saying “thank you life” for the gift" said by Imuetinyan Ugiagbe.

The reason why I find this quote so powerful is because it not only reminds me of my mortality but also of the precious time that I have and my choice in choosing how to spend it. We are each responsible for how we respond to our day, and the light and love we choose to bring to others. This quote supports my wellbeing by reminding me that small and trivial matters are far less important than who we are and what we bring to others in our moments of living.

So, how will you choose to spend your time here? What will be your gift to life? This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Blessings to All!
