A Journey of Significance

A fascinating concept as to why an appreciation for all things is critical, few people take the time to acknowledge their blessings. The world is selfish because so many subscribe to easy living with no sacrifice. Many people live off others while placing material objects on a priority list. As we move through life as it is, having less or expecting less should be the lesson, but it’s not and will probably never be. Selling the roses of life is a mere cliché but seldom reflects an appreciation of those things that people can’t see over those that can be counted, driven, or visually measured falls short of meaningful existence.

As I have walked this past year and survived a pandemic, thoughts of gratitude tend to resonate each day. My fondness of seeing another day, enjoying a good movie, or participating in a stimulating discussion carries the complete package to separating what lasts forever. To have your thoughts imagining all the wrong things cloud your sense of reason, and its place creates a deepened perception of being on this side of life. So much of what I am describing by understanding comes with age, but age isn’t enough unless maturity enters this picture of relevance.

As we move throughout history, those same history makers focused on taking over earning. They never took the time or cared enough about right over wrong. In this attempt to control and dominate, sectors of people became ‘Mind-Full’ over being ‘Mind-Ful.’ Evaluating the difference, it’s easy to determine what should be opposed to what is currently happening. Anything of measure never decreases in value and will never become outdated. I learned this early in life to value those things I couldn’t see by relishing in the fact that my mindfulness afforded me proper awareness. Therefore, it is the little things that matter.
