Debasish Mridha once said that “Every moment in our lives brings the opportunity to love and appreciate this beautiful magical life”. Here, Debiash pointed to the importance of appreciating all moments in life. At times, life brings about bad turns, sad moments, and unexpected occurrences. In such moments, one feels like they are losing everything they love. People might find themselves so lost in life’s negatives that they forget about its pleasant moments. However, it is essential to know that all people have struggles. The ability to appreciate life more despite challenges is what keeps us moving. Life has challenges, but we should enjoy and appreciate every experience that comes with it.
Gratitude is an important aspect of appreciating life more. Initially, I assumed that all things happened naturally, until the day I was involved in a road accident. After surviving the accident, I learned that life would be cut short at any time and that being grateful for all happenings in life is vital. Since then, I appreciate everything in life, including things that are easy to miss or take for granted. I also learned that developing an attitude of gratitude was key to benefiting from daily life. Having an attitude of gratitude makes one more genial, friendlier ad warmer. It makes one more aware of and sensitive to others and the environment around them. The more gratitude one has, the happier and brighter their lives become.
Self-awareness is also part of appreciating life more. So far, life experiences have taught me that the best way to live present life is to be self-aware. One such life experience that came about was in high school, where I was a victim of bullying. Later in my final high school years, I learned to be confident and self-aware. It was then that I learned the importance of self-awareness in appreciating life. Since then, I learned that being happy and acknowledging the beauty of my life were instrumental in achieving excellent performance. I am where I am because of myself – because of the choices and decisions I made in the past. And to appreciate my life more, I am making better decisions and choices based on my self-awareness.
Lastly, embracing one’s natural state of being helps one appreciate life more. As with the high school bullying experience, I learned that my natural, healthy, and normal state of being is wonderful. I was particularly being bullied for my short stature. But after gaining self-awareness, I discovered the importance of embracing my state of being, through which I was able to appreciate my life in high school. Since then, I embrace every natural state of being in my life. I try tuning into the joy I experience to demonstrate my current life’s fullness and acknowledge all normal occurrences. Eventually, I expect to feel happier all the time.
In conclusion, life experiences have taught me to appreciate life more. A horrible road accident taught me to be grateful for all happenings, and a high school bullying experience taught me to embrace my natural state of being and be self-aware. By doing so, I have appreciated life despite numerous challenges. Most people fail to appreciate life due to difficult circumstances, with some ending up committing suicide. By copying my example, I think the world would have more people appreciating their lives and avoiding suicides.
