Taken for granted?
Everything that exist on this planet and that is a living thing, it demands great deal of attention from your side. It is similar to your body; your body is living thing so it requires attention and care. If you are not attentive, your body won’t support you longer. You can not take any living thing for granted. It is same as you will see a plant dead if you don’t nourish it well. Same is the case with relationship, it is also a living thing. You need to be mentally prepare before coming into any relationship, you need to be aware about pros and cons. Would you want to be with a person who will not make you feel important? Would you like to stay in relationship where you feel neglected? No. Why on earth would you like to feel neglected? Taken for granted? This is what happens when you take each other for granted.
It all came up when I recently saw an incident in which a husband lost her wife and he couldn’t even say good bye for the last time just because he didn’t want to wake her up before he went to office that day. It is okay to disturb your loved once, it is okay to irritate them by continuously reminding them that how much you love them. You never know about the situation when you never get to see that person again. So, cherish every moment, never miss to say good bye before you leave, make sure you say ‘I love you’ enough no of times, spend enough time; well time is never sufficient. You can never be sure about the life, death is certain and interesting part is you can never predict.
We happily live in our world and we don’t dare to think about the horrible stories that we hear on TV about ‘other people’. Well, we never dare to think that those ‘other people’ can be us or our loved once. It is human tendency because I am sure those people thought exactly the same thing about themselves and the people around them.
Love deeply; feel deeply; live deeply
Make sure that you appreciate enough whatever you have in your life because with each breath, you are losing your time. Love deeply; feel deeply; live deeply. The intensity is part of my soul and with that intensity I choose to live. Tomorrow is just a hope, it is not certain. Tragedy can touch us at a moment’s notice; sometimes it does. And tragedy is not only simply about loss of life; sometimes it can be about loss of what was. Things can change any moment so prioritize people and spend quality time with your loved once, do not waste time to impress the world.
Wake-up!
The problem is, when you take people or things for granted, you put them in danger. It’s not always possible to make up for neglect after they’ve slipped away. Think of this as a wake-up call and be grateful for everything. You are busy working hard, trying to make things work. Busy at life. But ever tried to find hidden blessings? Your parents, your siblings, your partner, your children; they are the one who needs your attention.
Don’t be negative!
I really don’t want to upset you with this post, I know it must not be giving you good vibes. But take it as a reminder, I want this post to remind you to tell your loved once that you love them; to get off your phone and spend time with them; appreciate them; fully listen to them when they are talking and embrace them every chance you have.
Stay Happy and live long!
