Someone please help me understand this, why is it hard
to appreciate people?
She
wakes up every day and first thing she does is check up on you
She
schedules her week and makes sure to spend time with you
She
goes out of her way to run your errands when you’re tied up
He
ensures he gives her whatever she wants,
He
takes a bullet when it comes to doing things that she likes just to make her
happy
He
goes all the way to hold her hair back as she throws up in the washroom
Appreciate
your girlfriend/ boyfriend
She
makes sure your children are always tucked in bed every night
She
ensures all your clothes are laundered accordingly
She
is always your cheerleader on every idea and decision you make
She
still sleeps in the same bed with you even when your hands have the scent of
the other woman
He
ensures your children have everything they want
He
ensures he is able to provide for his family
He
sacrifices everything for his family to ensure that they are safe at any one
time
He
turns a blind eye when he sees a text from your flirt and acts like he never
saw a thing
Appreciate
your Wife/ Husband
Just the other day when I was driving home, all these
thoughts ran through my mind and I realized, we tend to take people for granted….ALOT….At
times without knowing and at times knowingly. I took a second and it hit me, I do
take a lot for granted; from my family to the few people I still have around
me.
I received a
post today morning and that’s what drove me to write this post.
At times we do first have to accept who we are.
At times we do
have to change afew things here and there but change them to make us better and
not for someone else. Once we overcome such a hurdle, we tend to gain a power
that I LOVE…’SELF CONFIDENCE’ and of course LOVING YOURSELF EVEN MORE.
Humans tend to make the mistake of loving someone first
before loving yourself. Hence we tend to hear about vicious tales of tragic
break ups, bloody divorces and worse of all; fatalities.
At the end of the day, people will still take advantage
of others; and I know I can’t change that, but what I can change is your
perception and teach you on how to appreciate people more.
Thank the guard who opens the gate for you every
morning and evening
The nanny who takes care of your babies when you are
away
Your cleaner who cleans up after your crap
The cashiers at the stores who assist you with
calculating your bill
Or even the bar tender who keeps topping you up
whenever your glass is empty (but if he doesn't suggest you have water, change
your bar tender …just saying)
Your parents for helping you get to where you are
Your spouse who is always by your side when your
friends are nowhere in the vicinity
Today, I sat in a seat that a few years back I would be
trembling to sit in. My voice would shake and I’d get teary due to fear. Today
was a different story. I had confidence that I even surprised myself. The
person across the table, instilled confidence in me…THANK YOU FOR THAT.
We never know that value of the people in our life till
they are no longer in our environment.
