It Matters.

We have been trained to focus majorly on the bigger picture while ignoring the little things. We don't major in some minor things because we think they don't matter. Sometimes, it's laziness and not wanting to step out of our comfort zone that causes it. We wait sometimes until something becomes huge before we understand the importance of it. Let's take our health for instance.

Most people would rather wait until they have broken down before giving their body the rest it deserves. As little as that 2 hours of extra sleep is, it could be a redefining moment of your life. Many people have died for less and that's the bitter truth. All these little things add up and we have to take them seriously.

Most of these little things that we have been accustomed to overlooking make up the larger parts of our lives and when we think about it then we would see it's true. You can never understand the value of good health if you've never been plagued with challenging health or you haven't been broken down at some point, especially when you have so much to do but you are helpless to even lift a finger.

I've always been shouting that my baby has so much energy and I've asked her a few times (even though she is less than 2 years) if she ever gets tired and if she can ever sit down in a place and just enjoy her cartoons without being all over the place. I didn't understand how much of a blessing that was - for her to be active, all over the place, enjoying herself, shouting "cartoon" when she wants to watch and "milk" when she is hungry until she was sick and for the first time, she was admitted.

I sat down at her bed, helpless, hoping I could take that drip for her (even though I have never taken one before too). At that moment, I would give just about anything to watch her become her bubbly self again without being confined to a bed. It broke my heart the more when in her words she kept saying "e pain you" - her way of saying it was paining her while pointing to the drip bandaged to her left wrist. The little things we have taken for granted and then, we were desperately praying for it.

When your body needs rest and you don't give it, it would demand it and when it places a demand, you won't like it because it would cost you even more. A lot of people ignore the warnings their body gives them and won't still rest or get the needed treatment. I understand that most people worry about money which is why they rarely go for checkups or go for testament. We don't prepare for war when war comes but we prepare for war in a time of ease. Start eating healthy and well... Do smoothies - blend different kinds of fruits, exercise - press-ups or sit-ups or just walk around or job around. Those little things are worth more than you could ever imagine, at least, to your life.

Most people work around the clock because they don't want to "miss appointments" but those appointments would be scrapped when they are there on the sickbed, automatically. This means we can actually do away with some things to get our rest but we have been used to the hustle and bustle that we just don't want to stop. If we stop one day to rest, the world wouldn't come to an end.

Take good care of your health...you have so many play dates to go for, you have running after your children to do, you have so many things to do in the world than to be an object of pity. Many people are suffering and they would give just about anything to enjoy the good health you are currently enjoying but not appreciating. If they had a second chance too, I believe they would go back to do things differently.

We have so much beauty in the world. They may seem little but they are priceless. A blind man would give anything to have the privilege of watching the rainbow. A deaf person would give anything to hear the bird chirp. All these little things matter and we need to appreciate them in life while also taking good care of our eyes, mouth, ears and other body parts. Sleeping and waking up is not a given and we should cherish them.

It goes even to our relationship with others. We have been used to certain benefits from certain friends and we don't appreciate those friends enough until they are gone. It doesn't have to get to that point. A natural and logical human being would go to where he or she is celebrated rather than where he or she is tolerated. What you failed to appreciate won't gravitate towards you. We all need to appreciate the amazing relationships in our lives. We need to make a move and when your heart draws to someone to say hey, don't let your ego hold you back because you never know... Life sometimes requires urgency.
