An accident, a disease, someone leaving or someone who doesn’t come back, is there, right now, that the clock stops. Suddenly, and then something clicks and we understand that we are passing through, that nothing is eternal, I would say that many learn to value life only in these situations.
The routine envelops us and we let ourselves be dragged, we want more, even if sometimes we do not know what, neglect the bonds that have been made to be beautiful and hold firmly to the ropes that prevent us from breathing. Get used to things going on (without sinking) and get used to the comfort of a house (noticing if it’s a house).
- Habit is a learning that makes us react less frequently and intensely to stimuli that are presented to us repeatedly.
- We do not pay attention to the things we take for granted.
- We lose sight of the importance of being wiser or the possibility of being accompanied by those who love.
But sometimes something ends with everything, tearing down walls, plans and lifestyles. It sounds like a lie, but sometimes we need extreme situations to value life. That’s when we appreciated what we had and understand the absurdity of not giving love and attention when I’ve had it.
We know life is over, but most people are afraid of losing it. With that, I don’t want to stop making plans for the future or thinking long-term. What I mean is that life is today. It’s happened. And if you think about yesterday or worry about tomorrow, you don’t realize how strong you are today, you may be wasting your life along the way.
Valuing life doesn’t mean escaping routine or looking for extreme emotions to feel your heartbeat, it’s opening your eyes, paying attention to detail and enjoying the moment, it’s becoming aware of who you are and you should be grateful and hard worked out. To keep it. It’s paying attention to what doesn’t work to correct it and make tomorrow a more dignified day. To value life is, in short, to make sense of time and to understand that you can have new dreams without having to put on new shoes.
Someone recently told me how sorry I was to have paid so much attention to what?He said he felt that he had committed many moments on personally important days or worked late without really being necessary, and that he was especially sorry for those days when he could not see his children.
I write this because there are issues that don’t deserve so much commitment, because they’re not that important, and I also write this because there are things so important that, however frequent or how much we’ve never lost them, it’s unfair to ignore their value.
“In life you don’t win or lose, you don’t fail or you succeed. Life is learning, growing, discovering, writing, erasing and rewriting; spinning, crushing and turning again?. Ana C Blum
Remember that you breathe, you are listened and you listen to what surrounds you, pay attention to the little things of the day to day and make sure to give importance to a beautiful afternoon, enjoy and invest the time as if it could not recover, stop thinking: time escapes, but it still belongs to you. This happens and we must realize that extreme situations are not necessary to know how to value life, because it already has value in itself.
