Life Is A Gift Never Take It For Granted
Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.
Happiness is a choice. Happy people understand this, while unhappy people struggle with judging themselves for not being able to easily shift to a happy state of mind. Always remember that you have options in everything you do, think or feel, and that you choose the things that are best for you.
Never take someone for granted, hold each and every person close to your heart because you may wake one morning and realize that you have lost a true diamond while collecting stones. Remember the grass always look greener on the other side of the fence. Never satisfied with what you have in a relationship, you go after what you think is better and you end up with nothing.
Relationships are worth fighting for but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. Sometimes people need to fight for you. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You are a good person and you are a good friend and you should realize that whatever is meant to happen will happen whether it is good or bad.
We are all taken for granted once in a while. And sometimes we don't even mind it, if it is done by someone whom we love and is really close to us. But if it is a regular thing that keeps on repeating itself, it surely hurts and irritates. This world is full of people who are complaining about been taken for granted by their bosses, colleagues, spouse, friends, siblings and even by their own children. They hate it, but never really are able to change it.
If observed carefully, one can easily see that these people are nice and decent; in fact at times too nice and decent. They are soft spoken, willing to please, helpful, sincere and hardworking. In general other people like them and even praise them, behind their back. But they some how never manage to get the type of recognition and reward from where it really matters.
Obviously everyone will take you for granted if they develop a feeling that you are stuck with them and you are not going anywhere. So, keep growing. Make continuous improvement in yourself. Develop better attitude, work on your self image. Show the preparedness to move on and see the people's attitude towards yourself change.
My advice to enjoying life and never take it for granted is: to always smile a lot, sing even if it is to yourself, hang around positive people, laughter is good, be active, be creative, give hugs, when feeling down or troubled recite this phrase, “and this too shall pass”, be kind, be grateful.
