When one has something, they tend to treat it as ordinary. But when they lose it or don't have it, that thing suddenly becomes far more valuable. This is common and natural. However, I think it is necessary to appreciate things when they are there and dismiss it when they aren't. It makes you realize how good your life is. Think, if you could eat as much as you want, wouldn't your
life be great? Well, yes, but not for most people who eat as much as they want. Think, if you have as much money as you'll ever possibly need, won't your life just be perfect? Not for most people with that much money... Seeing a pattern yet? Things tend not to be as great as you expect. But I digress. Anyways, despite the difficulty in attempting to appreciate the things you have, you may end up liking your life more. Sure, you slept poorly, your coffee maker didn't work, and you forgot to walk the dog, but look on the other side. You have a bed! You ate a meal! You have enough money to afford a dog! Also, when you lose something, don't piss and moan to get it back. If there's no reasonable way to get it back, then just be happy you had it in the first place. When you get something, appreciate it. Always. If not for the thing itself, appreciate it for the gesture from the person or thing you got it from.
I know, short post, but thank you very much for reading and have a nice day.
