Appreciate What You Have |
 |

I found these days many children or adults are not appreciating to what they have. It seems 'the other grass is always greener'. Why we don't we think the other way around.
If you think again, there are many people who are less fortunate than yourself. We could start
with what you are wearing at the time you read this. At the other end of the world or even few block from your home, there is someone that might not have nothing. When your child is whining about food that you serve, has she/he ever think that many other children that would struggle to have what your child has. When a healthy young woman is going to have a breast enlargement, has she ever think that other woman is struggling to battle her breast cancer. This only a little example. When a man working long hours, so he could earn as much as his friend, has he ever think that his family needs him too.
I do believe that we all have a dream to be better person, or better look, or better than others. I agree that if we work hard we reach our dreams. But I also believe that some people just forget about their limit and capacity, and they do not see what they are missing out.
Let us start appreciating what we have. Appreciating your look. Appreciating what you earn from your hard work. Appreciating every single minute you spend with your love ones. Teach your children from early age, bring up their self esteem, tell them that other people are not always better, prettier, richer, smarter, luckier than themself. All those glimmering things or dreams are not always better that what you are and what you have now. I believe appreciation of ourself will also bring healthier and happier relationship.
