Wonderful essay and admonition for all of us. Thank you for sharing.

Though not a religious person, I have taken to expanding my perception of my inner self in these frightful and dangerous times. I am learning that all of us, those with good intent and those with bad are reflections of the one truth: we are all The One Thing. That knowledge gives us the strength and the power to live our best life. A concept that is difficult to comprehend and even more difficult to achieve, but one worth striving for above all else.

Una gran reflexión, que ni mucho menos por casualidad aparece ante mis ojos en el momento perfecto para recordarme y recordarnos lo privilegiados que somos. Gracias caballero por sacar a la palestra tales bendiciones que damos por sentadas, por hacer que mi ego se retuerza al sentir lo lejos que estoy de alcanzar mi mejor versión, de ser uno con el universo, y lo cerca que estoy a la vez. No deje de escribir nunca, un abrazo!

Very well said and stated..... I was humbled and taken back down a few notches deservedly so. I too am guilty of becoming complacent and I was easily sucked into tunnel vision and the big picture did fall out of my line of sight. The article is absolutely spot on..... 100 percent true and I'll be the first to admit I am guilty, I have done that, all of those things..... The question now for me is.... How do I proceed from here.... I will share this with as many as I can..... Well done Mr. Paez

Ese maravilloso momento cuando te topas con un ser humano, con un hombre, con hambre de un mejor mundo. Con conocimiento, consciencia y respeto hacia lo que un día fuimos, y lo que en menos de lo que imaginamos volveremos a ser…

Gracias a usted por sus palabras y por tomarse el momento, siga inspirando!

A very impactful article - very reflective of how life should be lived- guilty of the issues which should have been opportunities for growth❤️

So true, that we do take so much for granted. Squandering time, resources that we're so fortunate, blessed to have been born with. This is a reminder for me. Thank you for it. 🌬️❤️

What if your baseline is someone else’s miracle?

Most of what you overlook is someone else’s prayer answered — comfort, clarity, and the freedom to wonder what’s next.

📌 Ordinary is a privilege too easy to ignore.

Even though I agree with the message, I hate this article because you chose to use the word privilege instead of blessing or favorable circumstances. Because ideology asides, it also implies people under less favorable circumnstances are uncapable of living a virtuous life.
