Hi @ samminator
A thought provoking post indeed.

The reason why many people do not lay it to heart to be appreciative of what they have is because they have not thought deeply about what they have

That is a very profound thought indeed.

I guess one of the reasons as to why people do not take time to reflect about their lives is that there are too many things to distract you let me refer to them as too much noice that drawn the inner voice and robs us the opportunity to have a dialog with our inner self .

Another thing that is quite strange and quite true is that we are never taught this in school or college.
The idea of "reflect about your life" is simply out of course.
This is a very important lesson of life never taught as part of our education.
