Why is The Art of Appreciation Often Neglected?

Why do we crave what we don't have but ignore what we do? Why is enough never ENOUGH? Why is there always a greater standard to strive to attain?

These are questions I need answers to, feel free to chime in. I'm grown sick of seeing endless posts of complaints on social media, from people whose lives aren't as bad as they may think. No you don't have a 2014 car, but you have A CAR. No you don't have your own place, but you have A PLACE TO STAY. No you don't have the job of your dreams, but you have A JOB.

Learn to appreciate what you have or God will take it away. He gives you things in small increments to see how you will receive them. Why would he continue to give if you can't appreciate what he's already done? Although he will bless and protect the blind and ungrateful, there comes a time when you have to say thank you.

Stop looking for pity parties and do something to better your life. Everything you want out of this life is attainable through hard work and dedication. Want a better paying job, place, car, or mate? Work your ass off to get it ! Don't expect anybody to give it to you; and more importantly, don't expect everyone to see the vision behind your dreams, it's not theirs so they won't !

Take the necessary steps to better yourself now, so that the foundation is set for a promising future. Living out your dream is like the gift that keeps on giving; everyone has one, but not everyone unwraps it and uses it !
