TAKING IT FOR GRANTED.

EVERY MORNING WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, YOU OPEN THEM TO A NEW DAY, A NEW DAY FILLED WITH OPPORTUNITIES AND POSSIBILITIES SO THAT YOU MAY SUCCEED AND MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR LIFE.
YOU ARE SO BLESSED YET MANY OF US OVER LOOK AND TAKE FOR GRANTED THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SIGHT, WE CAN HEAR, SMELL, TOUCH AND FEEL BUT YET STILL WE COMPLAIN AND BE NEGATIVE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT CAN NOT SEE, CAN NOT HEAR, CAN NOT WALK BUT YET THEY ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE LITTLE THAT THEY DO HAVE, MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT ARE DYING DUE TO STARVATION, FAMINE, MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD NOT EVEN SURE WHERE THEY WILL LAY THEIR HEADS TO SLEEP THE NEXT TIME THEY WOULD LIKE TO SLEEP BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO HOMES, NO BELONGINGS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR HOMES AND BELONGINGS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY WAR AND CONFLICT, MOTHERS AND CHILDREN MAKE THE JUNGLES AND THE WILD THEIR TEMPORARY HOMES EVEN THOUGH IT AINT SAFE, ITS A CHANCE THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE, A CHANCE AGAINST NATURE AND ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT COME ALONG WITH IT INCLUDING WILD ANIMALS.
YET WE HAVE HOMES, WITH WARM BEDS, MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST COMFORTABLE BEDS OR THE BEST LOOKING HOUSES BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE FAR WORSE OFF THAN WHAT WE ARE AND WE TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED.
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DO NOT HAVE ANY ONE THAT THEY MAY CALL FAMILY, BEING ALONE IN THE WORLD, WOMAN THAT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED AND DRAWN INTO SLAVERY AGAINST THEIR WILL, KIDS ARE BEING USED TO TRAFFIC DRUGS AND BE SEXUAL SLAVES AGAINST THEIR WILL, YET WE TAKE FOR GRANTED ALL THE GOOD THAT WE HAVE.
IMAGINE NOT HAVING ANY ARMS OR LEGS BUT BEING ALIVE AND HAVING TO LIVE LIKE THAT DAY TO DAY, NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF, BEING BORN AND ABANDONED AT BIRTH GROWING UP WITH A STIGMA THAT YOU WERE'NT WANTED BY YOU BIOLOGICAL PARENT/S YET WE HAVE BOTH PARENTS IN OUT LIVES AND WE OVER LOOK THE FACT THAT THEY ARE REALLY OUT THERE WORKING HARD SO THAT THEY MAY GIVE US A BETTER LIFE.
YES WE MAY NOT HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE EVER DESIRED BUT WE HAVE ENOUGH, ENOUGH FOR US TO MAKE IT THROUGH EACH DAY, ENOUGH FOR US TO BE BETTER OFF THAN THOSE THAT ARE LESS FORTUNATE AND THOSE THAT HAVE NOTHING.
LETS STOP TAKING LIFE FOR GRANTED AND START APPRECIATING ALL THAT WE DO HAVE IN OUR LIVES BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOME ONE THAT IS WORSE OFF THAN WHAT YOU ARE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A EDUCATION, NOT BEING ABLE TO READ OR WRITE DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOUR COUNTRY HAS NO EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, NO TEACHERS TO TEACH, GOING THROUGH LIFE IN THE DARK.
YET THE BASIC EDUCATION THAT WE DO GET IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
WE NEED TO SIT BACK AND TAKE STOCK OF OUR LIVES, PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE NOTHING BUT STILL SEEM TO BE SMILING AND APPRECIATING THE LITTLE THAT THEY DO HAVE YET US THAT ARE MORE FORTUNATE ARE ALWAYS COMPLAINING, ALWAYS NEGATIVE WE NEED TO STOP TAKING ALL THAT WE HAVE FOR GRANTED.
