The Power of Appreciation in a Broken World

Life can be very unpredictable sometimes as it but one thing about this life we are living is that we are meant to be there for each other. We all weren’t thrown down from heaven, we were born into families and bred by these people into who we are today. Someone will say we don’t really owe people anything but honestly, we do.

Our parents gave birth to us, they are supposed to take care of us, yes. But not everyone gets the opportunities some of us get, thanks to our parents. This is where gratitude, respect and responsibility come in. In this world, what goes around, comes around. As we expect good from people, we should also learn to do good to people. And when someone does good to you, learn to be grateful because you never know what that person had to go through to help you.

I say this because these days, most people out there are very ungrateful. You’d break your back so much for someone only to be met with so much entitlement. When you think about why most people don’t do good anymore, be reminded of the fact that so many people are ungrateful out there today. I have seen and I know you have also seen it. This is bad.

As much as it really isn’t compulsory to help people, we those on the receiving end should learn to be grateful. We at least owe people that. We owe them gratitude, respect and anything else they’re due. Because what is life if we can’t even appreciate those who show up for us. They say the word is becoming a very bad place in these times, let’s not be a part of that story. Let’s change the narrative. Be there for one another, help people when you can, respect people and be grateful for the little someone is able to do for you.
