Nothing you have acquired is real unless you worked for it.
If you were born a nice guy, the niceness isn’t yours.
If you started off not so nice, and now you do a little better, that’s divine.

I usually love these daily insights, but I do not agree with this one. I think this is a terrible thing to say. It is not an either/or. Being naturally predisposed to a virtue does not devalue it or make it any less divine.
