Learn To Appreciate What You Have

‘Learn to appreciate what you have now before life forces you to appreciate what you’ve lost.’

~Me

I see so many people that do not appreciate what they have.  People complain about the most trivial things!  Think about the person who complains about their job each and every day?  In this economy they should be happy to be working when so many good, skilled and talented people are out of work.

Just the other day I spoke to a friend who was complaining about her significant other and how lazy he is in her mind.  Where she sees lazy, the outside world sees a hard-working man that takes good care of her and their child.  The outside world sees a man that works about ten hours per day, but still makes time to come home, cook dinner for her, spend quality time with her and treats her like a queen, despite her negative attitude.  Most women would be extremely happy to have a man do half the things he does for her!

Take time to appreciate what you have.  Tomorrow is not promised and tomorrow may be the day that you lose your job and are left scrambling to pay bills or lose your significant other to someone who loves and appreciates him or her more.  Is that really what you want?  Think about it...
