Appreciate The Little Things

Why do you love music? Because it's the only thing that stays, when everything and everyone is gone? It's easy to ride when everything's perfect but who gone be around when the sun ain't shining anymore? I have amazing people in my life. I need to let them know I appreciate them. If no one else does, I appreciate you. If nothing else, I appreciate you. I appreciate the little things. Even if they’re kinda pointless in your eyes. I can only show you something great, I can't make you appreciate it. You're going to have to learn to appreciate the little things because in reality big things are made up of the small things. The little things are what make the big things incredible, appreciate everything no matter how small or big. Sometimes the little things are big things that seem small because they are obtained and Sometimes at some point you'll have to stop waiting for something big to happen. The little things you see are the big things you keep. Appreciate small gifts, they add up to huge blessings.

Life is so much happier when you learn to appreciate. I don't know how NOT to be happy. I appreciate the little things too much and I just really love people that appreciate the little things.  Think positively, Enjoy life, Appreciate the little things that happen around you everyday. Thankfulness brings contentment. No matter how good or bad I have it; I must wake up each day thankful for my life, because someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Big or small, there's someone out there who wants what you are fortunate to have. There is always something to be thankful for. Always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. The big things won't happen until you learn how to appreciate.
I've came to learn when you're able to appreciate the little things, big things are just a plus, and from little things big things stem.
Here are a few reminders to help motivate you when you need it most:

1. Everything in life is temporary.
Every time it rains, it stops raining. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever. Appreciate everything that's good in life while you still have it because when it's gone you'll be pretty bummed you took it for granted. People take others for granted until they're long gone, that's when they miss you and appreciate everything you used to do for them. People never seem to appreciate a good thing when they have it yet they'll miss it when it's gone.
So if things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. If things are bad, don’t worry because it won’t last forever either. Just because life isn't easy at the moment, doesn't mean you can’t laugh. Just because something is bothering you, doesn't mean you can’t smile. Every moment gives you a new beginning and a new ending. You get a second chance, every second. You just have to take it and make the best of it.

2. Worrying and complaining changes nothing.
Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. It’s not over if you've lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future. Spending today complaining about yesterday won’t make tomorrow any brighter. Take action instead. Let what you've learned improve how you live. Make a change and never look back. Appreciate what someone else is doing for you instead of complaining about what they aren't doing. Regardless of what happens in the long run, remember that true happiness begins to arrive only when you stop complaining about your problems and you start being grateful for all the problems you don’t have.
True strength comes when you have so much to cry and complain about, but you prefer to smile and appreciate your life instead. There are blessings hidden in every struggle you face, but you have to be willing to open your heart and mind to see them. You can’t force things to happen. You can only drive yourself crazy trying. At some point you have to let go and let what’s meant to be, BE.
In the end, loving your life is about trusting your intuition, taking chances, losing and finding happiness, cherishing the memories, and learning through experience. It’s a long-term journey. You have to stop worrying, wondering, and doubting every step of the way. Laugh at the confusion, live consciously in the moment, and enjoy your life as it unfolds. You might not end up exactly where you intended to go, but you will eventually arrive precisely where you need to be.

3. Every little struggle is a step forward.
In life, patience is not about waiting; it’s the ability to keep a good attitude while working hard on your dreams, knowing that the work is worth it. So if you’re going to try, put in the time and go all the way. Otherwise, there’s no point in starting. It could mean sacrificing relationships and all that’s familiar. It could mean accepting ridicule from your peers. It could mean lots of time alone in solitude. Solitude, though, is the gift that makes great things possible. It gives you the space you need. Everything else is a test of your determination, of how much you really want it. If you want it, you’ll do it, despite failure and rejection and the odds. And every step will feel better than anything else you can imagine. You will realize that the struggle is not found on the path, it is the path. And it’s worth it. So if you’re going to try, go all the way. There’s no better feeling in the world… there’s no better feeling than knowing what it means to be ALIVE.

4. Other people’s negativity is not your problem.
Be positive when negativity surrounds you. Smile when others try to bring you down. It’s an easy way to maintain your enthusiasm and focus. When other people treat you poorly, keep being you. Don’t ever let someone else’s bitterness change the person you are. You can’t take things too personally, even if it seems personal. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them.
Above all, don’t ever change just to impress someone who says you’re not good enough. Change because it makes you a better person and leads you to a brighter future. People are going to talk regardless of what you do or how well you do it. So worry about yourself before you worry about what others think. If you believe strongly in something, don’t be afraid to fight for it. Great strength comes from overcoming what others think is impossible.

5. The best thing you can do is to keep going.
Don’t be afraid to get back up – to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart. Life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes. There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. And you might feel like you will be stuck in this rut forever, but you won’t. When you feel like quitting, remember that sometimes things have to go very wrong before they can be right. Sometimes you have to go through the worst, to arrive at your best.
Yes, life is tough, but you are tougher. Find the strength to laugh every day. Find the courage to feel different, yet beautiful. Find it in your heart to make others smile too. Don’t stress over things you can’t change. Live simply. Love generously. Speak truthfully. Work diligently. And even if you fall short, keep going. Keep growing.
All jokes aside, your life only comes around once. So do what makes you happy and be with whoever makes you smile, often. Think positively. Eat healthy. Exercise today. Worry less. Laugh often. Sleep well. Repeat…

Awake every morning and do your best.
