APPRECIATE OTHERS

Life is short but sweet for certain. - DMB ___ The first time I heard this quote I thought it was a good reminder to make each moment last; to live life like there's no tomorrow. ___ As I recall this quote a decade later, I have a different perspective; now it's about appreciating the people in your life as you create moments together. ___ Though it may not seem like it at times, we consciously choose who we surround ourselves with. And it's important not to take someone for granted just because they're right infront of you. Be grateful to have that person in your life whether its for a day, week, month, year, years... because by choosing... you decide if you really want to make an effort to keep them in your life, not just bc of convenience - this includes family members. ___ We share the world with 8 billion people and counting. It's impossible to connect with every individual on the planet so it's important to choose who you want to spend your time and energy with. ___ When I choose who I want to spend my time and energy with, I'm making a choice to be present. I'm choosing connection. And my friends, my true friends, value the time and energy I invest in them... and vice versa. Tag someone you care about ❤
