Learn to Treasure What You Have

There is no denying the fact that human beings do not certainly know whether they should cherish what has been achieved. As an old saying goes: “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” On this issue some individuals always do not know how to appreciate what they have got and believe they couldn’t reach is perfection, while others, on the other hand, maintain that we won’t be conscious of how important something is until the moment we lose it. So from my point of view, I would prefer to agree the latter argument.

In the first place, we should value what we have, especially our health. Take the following for example, as we all know there are many different kinds of accidents in our daily life. Some pass away in a minute; some suffer a great pain even they are alive; what’s more, some are born with disease. Therefore, there is no reason complaining about a little unfair in our life if all of us are healthy.

In the second place, another important aspect is that we should be grateful to what we have got, only in this way could we find the happiness and keep a grateful mood in our life. The Bible has never failed to teach individuals to learn the true meaning of treasure and gratitude. However, it seems that few of us are good students. Sometimes we suddenly realize what we have is precious, but the satisfaction will not last for a long time. Then we’ll forget about it the next day and begin our greedy, endless hunt again for what we haven’t got yet. As a result, the only thing we can do is to remind us to be grateful.

Moreover, we should remind ourselves to be optimistic again and again and learn lessons from bitter regrets time after time. An easily satisfied person is always the one who is easy to be happy. We all know the following story about Helen Keller. By some miracle, she were granted three seeing days, to be followed by a relapse into darkness, she divide the period into three parts. The interesting story just wants to show us that the “not well being” standard of our life is determined by your attitude. Anyway, enjoying your own beautiful green grass with gratitude is far more satisfying than envying your neighbor’s.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that we don’t know how long a thing we can own, but what we know for sure is that we should cherish what we have got with our heart and soul. What we have lost may not be good enough, but the thing we have should be valued. It is magnificent to cherish what you have possessed in your life cycle.
