My goal for this week is to take nothing for granted. It is so easy to get caught up in life and to totally forget what matters most. That job you hate going to, your girlfriend nagging you, your car needing an oil change, your messy room… as annoying as all those things are they are tiny, tiny problems in the overall picture. Besides, if that is all you are worrying about you are lucky! Here are a few of my favorite related quotes:

“When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren’t grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude”

“Value the friends you have while they’re around, you never know when they’ll be gone.”

“There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”

“I have realizations, like that life is bigger than us. People forget that, but I’m always aware of it. Like when I’m in the bathroom looking at my toilet paper, I’m like ‘Wow! That’s toilet paper?’ I don’t know if we appreciate how much we have.“

“We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness”

“Appreciate me now, and avoid the rush”

“It is only after a fair portion of one’s life that one really knows what are the things that matter, the things that will remain until the end.”

“Appreciate everything in your life good or bad. Extract the lesson from every bad situation, learn from it and move forward.”

I hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday!
