We have a bad habit of not appreciating the time others spend on us. A conversation, a hug, a smile, a “how are you”, “I do it because I know you like it?”Or just a follow-up, gesture up. There are millions of daily acts of people around us who don’t care.
You don’t have to spend every second, hour or minute with your family, friends or partner, spending time with strangers is also important, because through them the day can start with a smile, for example, because you?Hello?full of joy that gave us that push we needed. The greatness of people lies in these small details, but with great effects and affections.
- They say a traveler crossing the desert saw a thoughtful Arab sitting under a palm tree.
- With his camels loaded.
- The traveler assumed that he was a stock trader and was on his way to sell his jewellery.
- Perfumes and carpets in a nearby village.
As he hadn’t talked to anyone in a long time, he approached the attentive trader and said:
? Hello friend, greetings! You look very worried, can I help you with something?
“There!?” replied the merchant, Am I very distressed because I have just lost the most precious jewel of all?
? Well, I’m sure losing precious jewelry isn’t a big deal for you. You have so many on your camels that it certainly won’t be difficult to replace them.
? Replace?? exclaimed the trader?Don’t you know the value of my loss?
What is the jewel you have lost?” asked the traveler.
? A jewel like no other, which will never be remade again. It was carved into a stone of life and prepared in the workshop of time. Were his ornaments twenty-four brilliant pieces, grouped into sixty smaller pieces?It is impossible to reproduce another with similar characteristics.
But with so much money you can’t make another one like that?
And you can’t find a lost day?
After this story, what’s a day for you, what does your time mean?One minute is enough to leave a permanent mark on someone else’s heart, to choose what you want to do or to enjoy what is happening, the important thing is to be aware of the present moment and use it with the people you want however you want. , while enjoying the dedication of others to you.
While lost money can be recovered, wasted time doesn’t come back, don’t waste and spend your time regretting not being able to enjoy it in a timely way, now enjoy and value time as one of the most valuable assets.
There are those who are unable to perceive the efforts of others to make their routine more practical, color their gray days or who want to enjoy their company, there are those who see as an obligation what is actually a choice on their part. There are people for who spend the time of others unnoticed, others who appreciate it as if it were a treasure, and others who demand the time of others, as if it were theirs.
Each of us is free to choose who and how we want to spend our time. Remember that seconds, minutes, and hours are fragments of our lives and no one has the power to decide freely on them.
Spending time translates as “I care about you”, “I love you”, “I support you”, “Do I love your business?”And it’s priceless and has no material equivalent. Because definitely, spending time is devoting life.
That is why we must not demand part of our time from others, nor plead with those who think only of themselves; time is not bought, changed or sold. Spending time with others is a choice that comes from within and allows us to connect emotionally with others.
He values that he writes to you, speaks to you, listens to you, does you a favor, accompanies you or remembers you because he loves you, because he loves you or because you miss him. The greatest gift they can give, because knowing how to give is speaking the language of the heart. Thanks to these people because time also offers the opportunity to forge memories that will then awaken feelings of joy, nostalgia and appreciation.
If you translate the moments that others spend with you into emotional language, you’ll understand that there are more “I love you” and “you’re waiting” messages. So take advantage of every second that others give you, because they largely offer you the most beautiful gift that exists: a part of your life.
