They say you don't know what you've got til it's gone.
But by the time you realize that, often, there's no way back.
The reason we don't know what we've got 'til it's gone is because we struggle to be grateful in the present.
Things in the future or the past seem more attractive because of the chase.
The chase confuses us about what is truly valuable and what isn't.
We underestimate what is right in front of us and overestimate what could be.
We undervalue what is right in front of us and over value what could be.
We take things for granted only to realize that we are the ones that lose.
Don't wait until it's too late to be awake and present when you're on a date.
Don't assume that people will always be there.
Don't assume that people will always wait for you.
Don't treat people less because you think there's more out there.
When you don't give someone your attention in the short team, you lose their affection in the long term.
When you don't give someone your presence,you lose the presence of their time in your life.
The more distracted you are from someone, the more attracted they will be to someone else.
Don't wait to lose the diamonds you have because you are busy collecting stones.
I hope this post will open your eyes...
Start valuing people who are always there for you, before it's too late, before you realize they are GONE... forever.
