Quote by Marcus Aurelius

Life is not merely being alive, but being well

Life is not merely being alive, but being well

Summary

This quote, often attributed to the Roman philosopher Seneca, highlights the idea that a meaningful and fulfilled existence involves more than simply existing or breathing. It emphasizes the importance of holistic well-being â€“ physically, mentally, and emotionally. Merely being alive does not guarantee a quality life; one must strive to be well in all aspects. This quote reminds us to prioritize our health, happiness, and personal growth, recognizing that true fulfillment comes from actively cultivating a state of overall well-being.
