Taking things for granted. Well sitting down today, a curious thought entered my mind. As humans how often we take everything for granted. Till one day you lose it and only then do you realize the value of it. Take for example our health. Many of us often let go of ourselves not paying attention to what we eat , we don’t exercise, we neglect little illness, little aches and pains, till one day the body gives up on you. Don’t you think that’s taking for granted your good health.
Take for example relationships. How many of us do appreciate what our loved ones, family and friends do for us? Don’t we take them for granted , expecting them to be around us always. Though a few I have come across in my life who do express themselves I have noticed most just feel you are there always no matter what. Well what makes them feel that there is a guarantee? Marriages- well this is one relationship where the spouse is completely taken for granted.
John Lennon said “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans “I couldn’t agree more with this. We lose such beautiful moments of our life because we just fail to recognize the fact that once it goes away it never comes back. If we have done something constructive good, but if we have wasted it in being morose it’s a moment of happiness lost. Aren’t we taking the fact we are breathing for granted.
Maybe a change in attitude is necessary for us to look at life differently. The only thing constant in life is change so makes perfect sense not to take anything specially people for granted for you never know what is in store tomorrow.
