Trying to Appreciate more...

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough” 
― Oprah Winfrey

We start our day by waking up from the sound of our alarms (well most of us) we wake up, in grumpy moods, trying our hardest not to fall asleep as we struggle. We do our morning routine, eat breakfast or just rush out of our house! 

We don't even Thank God for what He has given us. I do know many don't believe in any kind of Religion...but at least we could be thankful for what we have. Setting your alarm at 7:00 Am so that you could wake up to go to your work. That's called hope. When we wake up, we don't even appreciate it that we are alive. We are so busy in life that we aren't even grateful for what we have, and we cry for little stupid materialistic things that we didn't even own on first place.

I try to be thankful, though it is really hard to appreciate a lot of things in life but I try my best. Why is it so hard to appreciate things in life? I have family, friends, food, shelter, education and many things that other people might not have. Why do I still seek for more? Human Nature it is. You see, us humans, we always want more! We don't even care about what we have. 

We don't even tell our parents how much we love them, but when they die, we give money to charity for their souls, we pray for them. What is the use of all that then? We sometimes shout at them, telling them that we are "grown up" now! That they should stop telling us what to do! But we never realise the privilege of having parents... we never realise that someone out there, cry and weep for the love of their parents, but they don't get the warmth of the hugs, they don't get the unconditional love from their parents. It is because either their parents are dead or they really don't care about them at all.

When we have so much, we always take it for granted. The luxury (and yes it is a luxury!) of "enough" is never enough... well until it's taken away from you. Deep down we all know how selfish we are! We never have enough. Why do we keep on asking for more when we can't even be thankful for what we have? Why can't we just sit in silence and look around us! Look around, we are living in a house; we have clean clothes to wear; we have hot meals to eat more than 3 times a day; we have comfy beds that we sleep on; we have a shelter that many people dream of!

Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had!

Your nightmares are someone else's Dreams.

Information: Ramadan is a Holy month in Islam; where one has to fast for about 30 days. It is the ninth month of the Muslim year, during which strict fasting is observed from sunrise to sunset. You're not allowed to eat or drink during this period of time.

Best of luck everyone! Remember to tell your family, friends or who ever you care for, that you love them. They won't always be by your side.
