Appreciate

What is your biggest wish? What would your life be like if you got that wish? Would you miss what you had before you got your wish?
Say your wish was world peace. Your life would be so perfect and problem free that you wouldn't know what to do. I think that the average person would miss the conflicts and the drama.
Now think of your favorite memory. How old were you? Who was involved?  Would you want to be you, but without that memory?
Let's pretend you were five and your memory was the first time your parents showed that they were proud of you. Your parents were involved. Now imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have that memory or if it never happened. A whole list of things could've happened. You might not have a very good relationship with your parents. Your self esteem might be extremely low. For all anybody knows you could be in the slums scavenging for food.
Everything we have, everything we want, everything we need, we need to learn to appreciate. We need to understand that every little thing has an impact on who you are now and who you will be. From the bus you missed last week to your highschool relationships. Everything is something.
