This is a dog-eat-dog world where people are on their toes to find flaws in others. There are yet another set of people who just don't bother, they're indifferent to what others do or say. It has so happened that we've become used to take everything for granted. We often tend to forget that we live in a world which throws ups and downs at us and nothing is constant. We experience change every other day, but how many of us acknowledge the change really. We live as if we've the world's time, by spending time in quarrels, misunderstandings, and other trivial things.
Instead of being grateful to all the wonderful things we have, we're least bothered and take it for granted.
I can quote few things which we take for granted:
1. Waking up - This is the first and foremost one which 'we think' is bound to happen and is a routine which will follow after a good night sleep. But, who knows, if we don't wake up at all the next day.
2. Our body - Today, we might be having a fit and healthy body for which we might be ignoring it to an extent where we take on bad food habits, or follow an unhealthy lifestyle, or indulge into smoking or drinking etc. But giving it a thought, do we realize how long is this body going to support us when we don't support it on the other hand? Until we realize it, it'll be too late.
3. Relationships - Relationships are the ones which are taken for granted unknowingly. And the sad part is in this process the relationship gets strained, it becomes complicated and sometimes it's lost forever, the simple reason being the two people involved take each other for granted. That's why today we see the values and the respect which once used to be in a relationship is no more there, since all that is taken for granted.
4. There are many such things for example, you have a job with you, while many others are unemployed, you're getting atleast a square meal everyday when others struggle to get even one meal a day, you have a family and a decent accommodation while the less fortunate ones are left alone and uncared and so on and so forth.
So lets be aware of one fact that "Change is the only thing which is constant and rest all things keep changing".
Lets be grateful for the wonderful things we possess and not take them for granted.
Today, I received a very nice forward from one of my friends. It read as below :
TITLE : SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes :
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2.Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So, she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help". The girl hesitated, then read : " I think the Seven Wonders of the World' are :
1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. And To Love
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Punch line : The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous! And that the most precious things cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

Well, that was it for today. Wish you all happening and beautiful days showered with love, happiness and prosperity.
