Life or something like it

This movie title keeps popping in my head all the time. I don't know how famous the movie is I just happen to watch it on TV, so no clue of how big it was. But the title is catchy and the theme of the movie is good. It talks about what gives life value, or what is of real value in world.

This issue is simple I suppose and the answer it would seem should be easy and clear for everyone. But how many of us tend to pursue certain things in our quest of happiness, only to remain eternaly unsatisfied. When I look at how my life has been so far, I could make long lists of things that I would have liked to do. But still I don't allow my self to brood or feel bad about them. I just look at what I have; a loving family, a caring husband and two lovely daughters.

Its been said over and over again that the thing worth cherishing in life is human relations, one's family and friends. It is no secret. But still I look at people around who I love and care about and see how they are so hung up on other things. It hurts to see them like that, because I know as long as they are like this, they will not find peace within shemselves and they will always remain unsatisfied.

Don't get me wrong I am not an idealist, I just simply try to remain focused. Whenever somthing that I don't like happen, I just ask myself is it worth to dwell on the matter? Or should I just move on and enjoy the more valuable gifts I have in my life? Nothing, nothing equals the joy you derive from good moments with a loved one. And nothing should be more intolerable than a bad thing happening to a loved one.

Remaining focused is very important for me. And I think my ability so far to do just that in itself is a blessing.

If you live to see another day, remember your blessings. If you find yourself feeling down, remember your blessings. If you were planining to buy a fancy bag, or a new car, or a flat screen TV and you couldn't, remember your blessings. The laugh of your child, the satisfaction of your mother or father to see you, the kind hand of your partner touching you, the good friend you have or simply yourself; able healthy and whole. If you count your blessings you will be more grateful than upset or disappointed.

Why am I talking about that? Because it hurts to see my loved ones in times of crises seperating, and working against one another instead of together. It hurts to see my loved ones not appreciating the real value of life.

Life or something like it!!! Why opt for something like it, when you can have your life and enjoy it.
