It's a true fact, for sure. You never know how much a person or something means to you until they're no longer in your life. NEVER, & I mean NEVER take advantage of the people you love! Take it from my experience, you'll be lucky enough if you ever get a second chance for treating someone like crap to be in your life again. So while they're still in your life; LOVE them. Make sure that they know you love them. RESPECT them! Treat them & speak to them with kind words...treat them the way that you would like them to treat you. You can'T just expect to have respect from someone if you don't give it to them in return. Support those that you love, support their passions, stick up for them, be there for them when they need a shoulder to cry on... Most importantly, learn to forgive those that you love. Just remember that nobody is perfect...NOBODY! Not even you. We all make mistakes. It's better to forgive someone for a careless mistake, then to hold on to anger that will harm us in the future. If that person forgave you once, then you can forgive also. It may not be easy, almost everything isn't easy... I believe in the end, it'll be much better for you.
Be thankful for your blessings, pray to God whenever you feel like giving up. I learned from all the moments that I was so low I didn't think I could ever possibly be happy again that God was listening to my prayers, wiping away my tears. Whatever you believe in, even if it's different from me...never give up on whatever faith you believe in. I like to believe that my God puts obstacles in my life so that whenever I have blessings, I'm not blind to them. I recognize my blessings & realize how lucky I am to have them...to not take advantage of them. So that I remember the happiness I feel, & how amazing happiness can be. You never know the true value of anything until it's gone. I was & still will be going through times in my life where all I feel is pain & all I can ever focus on is negativity... God will always be here for me, guiding me to brighter days. I know that he loves me & wouldn't let me go through any kind of pain if there weren't better reasons lying behind them. For that I am thankful. =) My God is an amazing God... & that makes me happier then anyone will ever know.
So what I'm trying to say is, RECOGNIZE WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU HAVE, & THE PEOPLE THAT BRING YOU HAPPINESS. Let them know that you love them, life is short...too short to be bitter & unhappy. All the seconds that you spend unhappy, are moments in your life that you'll never be able to get again!!! Including people! Anyone that you love in life is genuine & special, there is no one else in the world like them (or YOU) that exists...so don't take it for granted! You'll regret it....because I know I regret not letting the people that I loved know how special they were to me...& they are no longer in my life! I pray that one day we can regain our old friendships & rekindle the love that we all shared among each other... Anything is possible through God. Miracles do happen!
So never dwell...stay positive, stay happy. =) Always remember you have something to be thankful for!!!
