You Don't Know What You Got [Till it's gone]

You Don't Know What You Got [Till it's gone]

How often do we appreciate the very moment we are in now?  How often do we appreciate all the love we have around us?  How often are we thankful for whatever modest possessions we have in life?  How often do we appreciate the job we now have?  How often do we appreciate blessings we receive in life [albeit such blessings may not be the best of the best but likely those blessings are many notches better than what everyone of us do reap and receive. So, don't you know what you got [Till it's gone]💹💹💹

BTW, 'tis true we got to LIVE LIFE to the FULLEST [BUT here's the big BUT].  You got to live life in a reasonably balanced way.  I've seen [FIRST HAND] people who had all the monies in the world, taking more than twenty flights a year for R & R [rest & relaxation] which, per se, I will be the last one to question because he worked his butts out the whole year.  But what was his shortfall?  He did send his family 10,000 miles away all the monies they need, period but how's things now?  The poor guy is now all by himself, with NO family and penniless some more.  What went wrong?

Seriously, I am NOT questioning if he did squander all his monies [because that's HIS and not mine] but what's despicable and pathetic is that as we speak today, he has NADA, ZILCH, TIADA, KEINER.  Not even the home he solely bought for the family.  Not even his favorite son [who squeezed him high and dry for monies and monies].  Not even the wife he wedded three decades back.  And to top it all, not even  the job which was his very sole source of income that enabled him to live the life he thought he was enjoying to the fullest not until he got literally stranded holidaying at BALI when the global pandemic lockdown did shut down global travel, whew

My God, this is a head-scratcher.  Is this fine, things simply dissipating in thin air? No sirrrrs.  Except for cataclysmic events which even science can't explain, things DON'T simply dissipate in thin air.  Our relationship with our spouse/partner may be robust today but there's NO guarantee that it will be robust forever ❗❗❗

My God, this is a head-scratcher.  Is this fine, things simply dissipating in thin air? No sirrrrrrs.  It's one thing to cherish our loved ones but it's another thing to literally NURTURE [a.k.a. dutifully taking care] of our relationship with our spouse/partner.  We all dream not only of good beginnings but most importantly, happy endings that meet our criteria and expectations because we DON'T want to hear that you DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU GO [till it's gone]☝☝☝
