Carl Jung said, among many other things, "A great mysterious energy is embodied at conception, bides awhile and finally goes elsewhere. Let us be gracious hosts, let us consciously assent to the luminous pause."  

What if we experienced life as that space between birth and death? Would it change what we do, think, be?

Perspective, the point from where we look, is, or should be, always changing.

Here's another one written by Mike Dooley in one of his daily notes from the Universe: The greatest trick and most subtle secret to doing anything really, really well, is loving that you get to do it all.

WE GET TO! 

We get to be gracious hosts. We get to do stuff. We get to think stuff. We get to fumble, fall, and fail, BUT WE GET TO! We get to succeed, excel and rejoice.

EXPERIMENT: Just for today, try adopting  the perspectives of Carl and Mike. Soak up like a sponge that you get to be alive. That you could be a gracious host to the energy that lives through you. What does that feel like? Does it change anything?
