Never Stop Trying

You take a
deep breath and fresh air fills your lungs, a light breeze dances across your
face, and the sun smiles down on you to
announce the beginning of your Monday while you can only think to yourself
"Damn, I wish I could go back to sleep". Everyone has heard the
phrase "don't take things for granted", but with everything that is
going on in the world, is that even possible? The beautiful environment that
surrounds us, the family and friends that we enjoy, the education that we
continue to build, the food that is essential to us; the list goes on and on. The
things that we are supposed to appreciate become things that we grow accustomed
to and eventually become nothing more than routine. Most people unfortunately learn
this lesson by losing something or someone who was very precious to them and realizing
it only after they were lost. Although I have not yet had to experience a
painful loss, I imagine a future where I do and I know that I don't want to
feel any regrets when I have been given the opportunity to acknowledge
everything that I have. When you take the time to step back and look over some
of the aspects of your life, you just might be surprised when you see something
that you once overlooked. I believe
that it is impossible to appreciate the true value of everything in your life
and not take it for granted, but I also believe that no one should ever stop
striving towards just that.
