Little things of life.

in #lifestyle6 years ago

A philosopher once said if i am not for myself then who would i be for? But, if i am not for others then what am i for?
Understanding how minor things such as the sarcastic words we say to others could get to them, the behaviour we put forward towards their things could be difficult.

I used to be so unconcerned( I don't think i'm done with that attitude) until i found out that you don't always get the opportunity to prove you're truly sorry. I'm learning everyday that there's someone going through something difficult and is hiding behind a smile.

Have you ever thought of someone and had their call come through at that moment? The lasting smile it leaves is incomparable. I have come to understand that the things we consider minor have a major effect. We love being nicely treated but forget that others deserve such treatment also.

A complement would go a long way, a thank you would be appreciated, a gift (no matter how small would be remembered), being a helping hand would be just fine, putting someone through a difficult course, putting things in order when there's disorder (arrange a disorganised table for a friend) all these matter.

     Above all, why not gather a few friends cook something nice, make them have a nice time, when next you think of buying yourself a new item why not buy it for a friend(nobody cares if you wear the same thing twice), consider keeping  up with time(there's no joy in being late),  why not call before the scheduled date and time if there's any change in plan, a simple text of I love you would melt a heart, Encourage a friend, let them see courage in themselves. 

Most of the time we always assume that our friends understand forgetting they are humans also. We often are the ones that remind them that they have a wobbling stomach, large eyeballs, big teeth, small boobs, short legs, we forget that our words could have a negative effect on others.
I'm learning everyday that as the day goes by the most unexpected things happen and its often the unexpected pleasures that make us smile, i'm learning not to live for just myself, I'm learning to be an inspiration to others, I'm trying everyday to be the reason why someone didn't give up. I'm trying to be the reason why someone had an enjoyable moment . I'm learning everyday that the little things of life matter.
Life is short though but the memories we make out of it last forever.

Till my next post!
