Its about appreciation

Appreciation...

This is a word that is a lot more powerful than we give it credit for and is taken for granted each day by us in our busy lives.

If we would only learn to appreciate more things, life would be more intense, more colorful, more interesting more of just about everything.

But on the contrary, I see people limiting their appreciation of things around them to the benefit of their own small point of view. I see people saying, "no, that rap music is destroying our children." or "that waitress is such a bitch!" They are making statements becasue of their lack of appreciation for a genre of music or the job a waitress has to perform in serving you a meal. They look for the negative aspects that disturb their feeling of security, and then lash out at them in hopes of lowering their status in order to make them feel good about themselves.

Ask yourself, "why do I not go surfing?" or "why do I not want to go to Panama, to visit the canal?" the answer usually lies in you level of appreciation for the subject or place.

So it boils down to how much curiosity one possesses. Don't you think? The more curiosity one holds and exercises, the more they are inclined to go out and appreciate more of life. So, how does one get more curiosity in their lives? Is there a pill you can take, or a kind of book to read. The answer is yes to both.

We end up placing ourselves into little boxes that make us feel defined. This is a mistake and is wrong and unhealthy. Each year we should be developing more appreciations for other things in life as well as incorporating those new appreciations into our own lives to make ourselves better, richer, more intelligent and of course more appreciative of live as we know so little of...
