Appreciate Life

Life goes by in the blink of an eye. So be sure to appreciate the many moments with friends, and family. Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offer thanks for all the troubles we don't have.Happiness is not the fulfillment of what we wish for, but an appreciation of what we have.
      We humans do not truly appreciate what they have until it's gone.We only realize how much we have gained from that relationship after we call it quit.We recognize the gift of a secure paycheck after we lose our job.Our parents are appreciated after they are gone.We only miss that teacher/lecturer after we have passed out of that institution.
       Learn to appreciate what you have before time makes you appreciate what you had. You may never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Some people never appreciated the time they were bachelors/spinsters. They were always complaining about how lonely they were until they got married. After they got married, they missed being single because they never allowed themselves to enjoy those times.This also goes for married couples, who do not allow themselves to appreciate their being together, just the two of them because there was a delay in childbirth.
       Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don't overlook it.We are so often caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, most especially those challenging situations, circumstances and the amazing people we meet on the way.
       So as a rule, I will like us to find time often to step back from our lives and appreciate life in general. No matter how difficult everyday living may be sometimes, applying this rule to our lives will enable us to see our lives in a wider context and help us put everyday worries into perspective and give us a great sense of calm.

         Life is a gift, I accept it.Life is an adventure, I dare it.Life is a mystery, I'm unfolding it.Life is a puzzle, I'm solving it.Life is a game, I play it. Life can be a struggle, I am facing it.Life is a beauty, I praise it.Life is an opportunity, I took it. Life is a mission, I'm fulfilling it.
