At times, each of us feels like we can’t keep going. And yet we do go on. Our perseverance is a testament to our unique individual natures — and that uniqueness makes each life valuable beyond measure.

Try this meditation for one minute today, or longer if you wish:

TAKE A FEW MOMENTS to treasure your unique nature. No one else has walked the path you’ve walked.
