Enjoy the little things.

in #life7 years ago

Start to pay more attention to the little things around you. 

This message\"s not anything new. And I\"m sure that you heard about it from all sides for thousands time.
But did we really take this seriously? I mean, everyone knows that we should be grateful for what we got. 
But are we? Or we just pretending that we are and after we trying to find someone, with who we can complain together in a coffee shop or a pub?

When we find a company around us with who we can just talk, oh wait, complain about the job, family or about the future, past... About that, we don\"t have time or money, about our annoying neighborhood or whatever. 
We are in our comfort bubble where you see usually just the bad things around us and after we shared them with our friends, who understand to us. 

Honestly, I also did it. 
I was exactly the same. Had everything but still saw more negative things around me than positive. Be pissed of in the traffic jam, mad in the Monday morning, disappointed because of the rain in outside and I can continue with other daily struggles. 
Had everything but wasn\"t really grateful. 

What\"s my point? 
Since what I started to travel as a backpacker and stared seen different countries and people around me from all over the world. I totally changed my life. 
Now, when I don\"t know what\"s going to happen tomorrow and every day is an adventure I figured out, what\"s meant to be really grateful and enjoy every little thing around me. 

I\"m really not a religious person but I have to say, that every day when I\"m able to just open my eyes and take a breath is a miracle for me. When I have a place to sleep or food to eat or when I can just hear birds singing on the tree. I feel happy and my life has a reason. I know it sounds like a cliche, but it\"s fact. 

And when I remember that I was pissed off in the traffic jam? 
I saw places where they have just two cars for the whole village where people don\"t know what is a traffic jam. 

Or when I was disappointed because of the rain? Oh, come on... Now I saw places where people prayed every day for some rain because of the extremely dry weather. 

I can continue for more examples but I\"m just trying to say, that we should pay more attention to see positive things and talk about them more. 
Throw out excuses and complaints and try to focus make every your day countable and enjoyable. 

You don\"t have to travel around the world to see things, what you have every day in front of you.
You have to just start a look properly. 

The beautiful little things are every day around us, just want to see them is enough. 

 

This article is clearly just my opinion. If you have anything to say, feel free to left comments below. I\"m looking forward to seeing your reaction!
