Appreciating...
It is difficult to appreciate life sometimes...
We get caught in our own ambition, our own problems, our own small world that revolves around us...We think if we don't continue to improve that we will be left out or left behind.
We stumble sometimes as humans. We look at people and we think of how they may benefit ourselves. We also look at people and think of how they might make our lives more difficult or challenging. We aim for improvement, but some how we miss the mark sometimes.
Looking for ways to appreciate life is actually one of the more difficult things to do and it must be a priority in life if we are to feel happy. Whether it is the quiet morning, or the train that you just caught on your way home. It could be the sunrise or the sunset. The smile on a young child's face, or the kind words of an older and more wiser person than yourself.
To look at your financial world after leaving the bank and realize that the guy on the street you just past by is in much more dire straits than you are. You wonder to yourself that maybe you are not so bad after all.
To look at a painting on the wall of a beautiful woman and feel the power that is all feminine is a form of appreciation. To truly appreciate that is to take that feeling out into the world and apply it to other women, looking for the same qualities that you saw in the painting on the wall.
Noticing the tiny creatures that land on our shirt sleeve for a breif rest, or watching a cargo ship slip on by ever slow slowly on its way to yet another destination. These are the things that can be seen on an everyday basis but go unnoticed.
Tuning your appreciation allows you to feel calm and happiness. Feeling calm and happiness gives you energy to share it with others. To do so creates more appreciation.
and that is someting the world needs more of each day....
