Appreciation

By -

I like to believe the universe is at balance. The good and the bad all cancelling out in alternates. But today, I'd like to ask, is the bad in your universe, in your life being cancelled out by good?no, wait. I'll do you one better, is the good in your life being appreciated,?
Not playing blind to all the bad that's happening but life has a lot of good things going on for you. I'll be more particular with the good you'll be reading about today. Opportunities.

Opportunities offered are heavy. They accompany with them a love, a trusting in you, a belief in your abilities. There's a whole lotta pain and loss in unappreciated opportunity. 
Dating is an opportunity to be with someone, Moving in with someone is an opportunity to a friendship, Internship, Business partnerships, Caretaking, House keeping, Baby sitting. Every interaction with people we make are opportunities to do much more that we sometimes take for granted. That we sometimes don't appreciate enough.

We need to understand while not in a replica manner, we are replaceable. They can date other people, they can employ other people, they can choose other people over you. But at the end of the day, they chose you. Please, don't fool yourself, it's not because you're the best, it's not because you're the tallest, the richest (oh God I hope Mr.Gates isn't reading this because then, I could be wrong), not because they're desperate and sure isn't the reason you're thinking, that's just your ego talking. Unless you're thinking it's only because you're very lucky.
So again, I'll ask. Are you doing enough to show them just how much gratitude you harbor?

Do your best to be the right choice they ever made. 
Love them back as hard as you can, appreciate them everyday. 
Meet deadlines, get your work done in the best modes your can master.
Keep everything entrusted to you safe and in pristine condition.

Whatever opportunity you're offered, taking it should mean that you will deliver. It should mean that you will do your best to do just that.

And that is all the appreciation the world needs. You being grateful, you doing everything you can to show you are thankful for every opportunity. 


Let's go back to the Basics.

Abused by love.

The question usually is why I called my blog Basics. The answer is rather simple, the things I talk about are things we already know about, they're basic. All I do is provide a little retrospect and sometimes different perspective. I discovered that we know so much, but knowing only implies understanding, it does not mean it. What I'm going to be writing about below are things you know, and I'm sorry about the monotony but as you read this, it's of import that you pay attention; that you understand. So recently, one of the most urban and gorgeous person I know was abused, and talking to her I kept realizing that it's not that she didn't know, it's not naivety that gets people abused. It really isn't. As children of God, I find that humans, like their father, are very judgemental. And sitting in the seat of the judge means you feel pure, exempt from the happenings of those you judge. We convince ourselves that we would handle things better if ...

The Art of Gifting

I intended to write about this way early into last year because of how shit the gifts I received that year was, but life comes at you so fast I hadn’t gotten time to research and do the yadayada before writing an article such as this. But then I met someone that reignited that spark only this time it was different, the complete opposite. They gifted me with sequences that were the most thoughtful gifts ever, and I mean ever. But then it occurred to me that it was much more than the thoughtfulness of the gifts and thus we are here to explore gifting a little more. I am overflowing with emotion over those gifts as I write this; Before we delve into it, love languages are meant to be independent as well as integrated and as such, this article is not meant for gifters and lovers that only understand love in gifting rather this is an article for you if you intend to express a little more love into the world, to your loved ones, to your victims. You see dear reader, gifts aren...

Expectations

The most prevalent wrong advice I've heard is 'don't have expectations and you won't get hurt.' and while I would see where that comes from, I just go whotf. So I have two problems with this advice, one is "you won't get hurt?" And you people actually believe that,? How much longer are we going to deny the fact that like happiness, hurt and pain is what life is? I mean, don't you want character development? Ha. And two is "don't have expectations?" What? (You gotta say the "what" like @stacythiru does) So, you just get what you get and that's it? You don't get to yearn for more and better? That's bullshit if you ask me.  Basically, this is me telling you the thing about expectations. One, most expectations are natural. It's what's expected. Like you getting good grades, you might get told that you have to over and over, but you already know you have to. No one sits down and writes things they ...
