How important are the people in your life, really?

Life's a funny thing how we all too often take advantage of the simple things that should be treated so carefully, sometimes even sacred.

THINK ABOUT IT:

If we knew our cars would end up only having a 1-week life span after hitting a pot hole, would we be more observant of our surroundings? Would we choose more carefully the roads we turned onto?

OR

If we knew in advance of an important event where significant individuals holding higher authority were going to be present, would we pay more attention to our clothing, our speech, and even maybe our thoughts? ----- I think so.

So, with that, I am woman enough to realize and admit while taking fault also.... that it's the people who care the least about us personally, that hold the opinion that we care most about.
Most of us, most of our lives right now, can't get more blessed when it comes to the people in it. Whether that's our children, our significant others, or extended family, would you change those people/person for someone else... or is it more of changing how you are treated?

We've all heard the phrase, "Have my cake and eat it". By now, we know it's not a realistic action! Because my heart aches, my simple hope is this: may we all remember each day what it is that makes us rise up and face the toughest moments and why we have good times too. Make an effort to change YOU in a way, so those people will know who they are and that they impact you in such a way. XOXO**
