Probably, everyone knows the expression - value what you have. But does everyone strive to do so? Most, on the contrary, tend to complain about their lives and consider what they have as an insufficient condition for a happy existence. This is not only about material wealth, but also about children, health, talent, performance and other things that can not be felt.
Better prepare in advance
“You have - you don’t value, you lose, you cry” - how often this statement turns out to be true. Having learned from the experience of others, it would seem that you need to think and build your life in such a way that you do not regret what was lost due to your confidence in the insufficiency of this. But more often than not, everything turns out differently. For example, human health. In youth, it seems that the body's safety margin is endless. But over the years, certain health problems make themselves felt. As you know, people don’t value what they have, so they start to treat them seriously only after some tragic event occurs. For example, if the doctor warns the patient that if he does not quit smoking, his heart may not be able to withstand the load, he continues to do this until he gets to the hospital with a heart attack. And if a person manages to recover, he begins to lead a healthy lifestyle, zealously protecting himself and others from the harmful effects of cigarettes. But this is no longer a full-fledged existence, such as it was when he was healthy, it will not become. Many restrictions appeared, something that he can no longer do, having suffered a serious illness. How much a person in this case is worried because of his disobedience. It is not in vain that they say "value what you have."
Invisible amenities
Only having lost something, you begin to understand how important and expensive it was. If something or someone is constantly nearby, then the person ceases to notice it and begins to want something new and inaccessible. In his opinion, this will be what he is so lacking for happiness. Therefore, people abandon each other, leave their families, leave for other cities, take loans to buy new things. But in the end it turns out that the old husband or wife was no worse, problems arise, the material goes out of fashion and ceases to please, or there is no way to return borrowed money and it would be better if the old smartphone, which also worked fine.
Other examples are needed
"Appreciate what you have," perhaps the concept of happiness lies in these words. If a person is happy with what he has, he is already happy. Is it possible to learn to be satisfied with oneself, with what one possesses, one's figure, mind, determination? Most likely, examples of other people who had to survive the loss and come to the conclusion that you need to value what you have will help in this. For example, many complain about their parents. Someone they are not rich enough, someone shy of their behavior, or even considers limited. But we must remember how many children in orphanages dream of having a mom and dad. There is no doubt that they assess the situation differently and think about having parents, and not about what they are.
The coin has two sides
There is no doubt that loving mother and father give the child everything they have. You can look at this question through the eyes of parents who cannot have babies. Often, those who have them are dissatisfied with their behavior, school grades, their chosen profession or life partner. But those who come to the orphanage dream of only one thing, so that they have their own child. It is important for them to give someone their love, the rest does not matter. But at the same time, the question arises: will they value their adopted child more than real parents? It is definitely impossible to answer it, but only one thing is clear that it will be more valuable for them than for those who refused it and handed it over to the shelter.
Sometimes you should not be upset
Often, instead of comforting in a difficult situation, you can hear the phrase "value what you have." This, of course, makes sense and the truth of life. But on the other hand, is everything necessary to be valued so as to be afraid of losing. Will the development of society stop if everyone is content only with what they have? Of course, this relates more to the material than to the spiritual. Although developing your personality and striving for self-improvement is still better than driving yourself into a certain framework and believing that you need to use only those, for example, mental, opportunities that you initially have. Experience shows that, with desire and perseverance, a person reaches a new level of intellectual development and thereby promotes overall human progress. Also, it is not always worth being satisfied with your figure, the shortcomings of which can be easily eliminated by playing sports or using a harmless diet, which in turn will increase self-esteem, and, therefore, will have a positive effect on a person.
And finally, if people were satisfied that they had to carry water from a river or a well with buckets, read at a splinter, ride horses, cook in an oven, then mankind would never invent electricity, running water and fly into space. In this case, you cannot say that you have, do not value, you lose, you cry.
