We realise the value of anything before getting and after losing

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
In our professional or personal life we're so busy looking for love in other areas that we forget the people who love us. Those are right there in front of us. We think to ourselves that we have time. There will be another chance. We believe that people will always always be around until something won't happens. Don't take people for granted. They may love you forever, but they may not be around forever. When someone is trying to keep in touch, whether it's a message they send us, whether it's them trying to call us. When we're busy, all of that seems like a burden. It seems like stress, it seems like pressure. But when we recognise that, that moment may never happen again in future.
We very often take things for granted that deserve our gratitude the most.“People say you don’t know what you’ve got until it's gone. Truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it”. We generally fail to realize the true value of many things until they are missing from our lives; for e.g, the Internet and the cell phone. We do not realize how vital the cell phone our life until we have to go days without it. We forget to enjoy the little things in life till we realize they were the big things.We do this with both people and possessions.We take things for granted on a daily basis, always with the assumption that whenever we need something, it will be there.
We learn to recognise how truly valuable and priceless it is. Appreciate what we have before it turns into what we had. Someone else is happy with less than what we have. Don't take things for granted because they might not there tomorrow. And therefore learn to appreciate what you have before it becomes what you had. This is a common thing once a relationship reaches its conclusion. When one becomes complacent with his/her partner, it is easy to fall into this trap. Happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting what we don’t have, rather it’s recognizing and appreciating what we do have. If someone once made me happy, there is a great chance they still will. Think about it -- maybe we are bored with our familiar routine, but that doesn’t mean we should get rid of it. Don’t lose something that we have for something that we want.
Although someone else is happier with less than what you have be happy yourself. What I have now was once everything I strove to attain. Just because something becomes repetitive does not mean it needs to be replaced. Think of how lucky I’m to have someone I can be completely comfortable around, that is a true gift and one that should be cherished at all times. Human nature is flawed. Logics say that, one should cherish the things and people they have in their life but reality falls far from it.
We keep chasing what we don't have because we think that once we acquire all the stuffs that we want , we will enjoy all them at same time. But you see, human wants are unlimited and time is, well, limited ! If you spend most hours of your day chasing and thinking about things you don't have, which we do. We do not get time to cherish things we have. And take it for granted until, a handsome man like in above picture makes sure that we miss what we had.
Appreciate all the small things one has in life because one never knows when that time will end. Clear the clutter inside our mind and realize what I have right now. Don’t wait until one has lost it to finally see how much I took it for granted. Don’t wait until you realize that without it, your foundation to make it through each day begins to crumble.
Moreover don’t take things for granted because they might not be there tomorrow. Too many times people don’t realize what they have because they are out there looking for something better. The problem is that when they do realize it, they will come crawling back. Everyone falls into the trap that the grass is always greener on the other side. People make mistakes, it's part of human nature. If one really love the person it may be in both people’s best interest to give him or her another chance. Let’s hope for the best. Cheers!

3 年Hi Kishore, Rightly said so. Everything that comes to you as a gift, achievements, accomplishments, victory and other such accolades, last only that long, may be momentarily, at best temporarily. After that, you have to defend it at every opportunity to prove yourself worthy of it. This is more akin to sports, wherein you have to defend your title every 1, 2 or 4 years depending on the sport or game. Similarly in politics. However, life throws up challenges in different formats such as health, finances, social status, reputation etc. You are constantly working to maintain or retain these necessities. Once we renege on these needs, we pay a price beyond redemption. Let's pay attention to health, family, reputation and live a peaceful life.
Too Good Kishoreji. Very true. reminded of Jagjit Singh's Ghazal. Duniya jise kehte hain jaadu ka khilona hai. mIl jaaye to mitti hai kho jaaye toh sona hai sung by chitra singh as well
