Appreciation for Yourself and for What You Have – Appreciation for Life

Appreciation for Yourself and for What You Have

Appreciation for Life

A better life can be achieved when you are no longer trying to achieve a better life; but rather appreciate what you have.  It means that you are content, as you should be, with yourself and with what you have.  To be on a quest for more or to envy someone else’s life or possessions is self-defeating.  You are then in a constant state of frustration, always hoping and waiting for more happiness.

So what is important?  Enough, not more. Imperative operations in life is dictated on each individual person.  Often times, the focus is solely on what one does not have.appreciation

“Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.” – Marcus Aurelius

There is, here and now, much to appreciate.  There is life itself with friends, family, and everything that is naturally before you.   You just have to look around and take it all in; perhaps, you should keep a daily journal to document what has been obtained throughout your life.

Are there people in your life that you would miss dearly if they were not here?  When you go for a walk don’t you see, hear, and smell, many things to appreciate and feel grateful about? Like the flowers, trees, birds, and the clouds in the sky.  A caterpillar crossing the sidewalk or your neighbor waving.  A cute pup or child enthusiastically enjoying that moment in life.

“Whether in favor or in humiliation, be not dismayed.  Let your eyes leisurely look at the flowers blooming and falling in your courtyard.  Whether you leave or retain your position, take no care.  Let your mind wander with the clouds folding and unfolding beyond the horizon.” – Hung Tzu-ch’eng (1593-1665)

It just makes good sense to be satisfied and at peace with yourself and others, and to enjoy the life, to its fullest.

Cheers to health, appreciation of life, and happiness!
