Learning to appreciate

We tend to worry about everything, we are worried about career progression, we are worried about not having enough money and .......

We tend to complain a lot too, we complain about our job, we complain about colleague, we complain about price hike ......

All our worries and complain has somehow seems to be so routine to us, so everyday is like a bad day to us .... even waking up late for work deemed to be a stroke of bad luck ...

Recently i have been talking to a few of my friends, telling them about my worries and did some complaining about my recent life ... and they struck be back hard back by telling me that what i am worrying is unnecessary ... it's " Luxury Worries" ....

Many of us worried about getting a good house, whereby there are many out there are actually without a shelter

Many of us complain about the food we eat, whereby that there are many people out there starving without food

Many of us worried about getting a better job, not realizing there are many out there without a job

Many of us complain about our family, not realizing that someone out there are even without one

So when we reached the peak of our worries and start to complain too much, take some time to evaluate our situation and maybe we will realized that we are actually doing good enough compared to many unfortunate people out there ....

I know that for us to chase for improvement, we need to keep on looking higher and not lower .... but sometimes it no harm to look lower at people that are less fortunate than us ... at least we will learn to appreciate our life ....

And when we start to learn how to appreciate ... life will be much more beautiful ... :-)
