Taking Life For Granted
You know we all want more time with our loved ones and on earth as ourselves but sometimes it can feel as though we have limited time on earth and with our loved ones, and those who we care about! We all can relate and understand how anyone on earth can relate and experience thoughts and moments like these.
It’s completely understandable but not always to those who choose to remain ignorant, immature, lack empathy and education even to do what’s right and more importantly what matters more than those we think are bigger and more important!
You know from watching “Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World” has got me thinking lately about one main thing that this movie helps bring to light. So many of us are fighting over pointless and meaningless pursuits and we let those things tear friendships, relationships and real moments with those who matter to us, when nothing that pointless or meaningless should lead to an outcome like that.
We shouldn’t stand by the emotions that in all reality is way too deep. We follow more of our emotions rather then either acting with emotional intelligence or responding with logic but also with creativity, and hope.
If we want someone who means the world to us and who we love, the small meaningless things we fight about aren’t worth losing those we love. Especially when it tears us apart and pulls us away from spending good quality time with those we love with nothing tearing us apart of preventing those kinds of moments. You know a quote from When Calls The Heart comes to my mind:
“But we decided that being friends is more important than fighting all the time.” ~ Anna!
No matter how strong and how much you may believe you are right or want something, nothing is worth losing anything or particularly our loved ones and those we love! If we want peace regardless of the numerous times we’ve caused war instead, we gotta know that we have to allow ourselves to actually listen to someone and give them the kind of moment of being heard and listened to!
It’s way more important for us to make peace and figure out a healthy and successful solution rather than the need to be right all the time like this lyric by Selena Gomez’s song, Kill Em With Kindness: “always someone you’re willing to fight to be right”.
And another important thing: don’t waste anymore time than you already have taking moments and time with your family and friends for granted. Even if you feel the need to be right, take deep breaths and be supportive for your friends and your loved ones! Don’t dwell or feel bad for all those times you took moments with your family and friends for granted. You can’t go back in time to change that, because the past helps us become and grow stronger and wiser!
Rebecca Wilson: Danger, when my mom died, it was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I wished I had more time with her. There’s no going back. Honor the years you had with him. Those brief, special moments are the ones we’ll remember. It’s not about how much time you have, it’s what you choose to do with it.
The part of this quote that states that it’s not about how much time you have but what you choose to do with it, that really speaks to me along with other quotes from: Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World!
It gets me thinking deep about how so many of us or rather all of us as citizens of society and as human beings, have taken more than just water and other things for granted. But rather more the things like choosing to let go of our constant need to be right all the time and complaining when things don’t work out to our plan or expectations for that matter.
It’s more important to spend quality time with your friends and family with no war, or anger; to just be there and have fun! Goof around but still he serious but not too serious!
Cecil Wilson: Each time, your plan fails. You try it again with another you. But when are you going to learn, you can’t change the past. You’ll only cause Armageddon.
No matter how much we may want to go back and change our past, we shouldn’t and we can’t! Why? Because our past can teach us a lot by the choices, mistakes and decisions we make plus the things and moments that are completely out of our control can also teach us valuable things! So my statement and belief is that it’s better to let our past help us improve and become stronger and wiser each and every day!
To not overthink when we don’t overdo or overthink things. To be able to respect and accept some things are out of our control and not our responsibility! That we have no right to treat anyone like a robot. How am I saying this? Well it’s those moments where parents feel with their teenage kids and those even in the early young adulthood stage where they have the need to control them, because they feel if they don’t, their kids won’t do what they believe they need and even with knowing what’s best for them.
What’s best for time isn’t always what they believe is best for them at all! For those who have only chosen in the past to see their side and no one else’s, I have something for you:
You may see something like 9 and see it as 9 but to someone else, they see it as a 6! What I’m saying is that not one perspective is wrong, everyone must tie the initiative and choice to see things from someone else’s point of view! That also comes along with being more understanding and empathic with someone: listening to someone’s side of the story and know things you didn’t know from appearances!
Danger D’Amo: You were right. You can’t go back. I tried. My father still died. No matter what I tried to do to save him. He did tell me one thing that was very important. You have to live life moving forwards, not back. This time, I’m gonna listen to him.
