In this day and age, you never know when you might lose someone; I'm not talking just about death. I'm talking about losing someone from your life whether it be because they have to move away, because you've got money/business issues, or because something has happened to your friendship. We need to hold onto the people that have been there for us - especially the ones that go the extra mile for us without question.
Be thankful for what you have, because (as cliche as it is) there are SO many people in the world doing SO much worse. Do you have electricity? Running water? A roof over your head? A car? Well, you're more fortunate than most...You're even fortunate that you HAVE credit card bills - didn't you at elast enjoy spending that money????
Someone very near and dear to my heart has become a victim of someone's greedy, self serving, and inappropriate acts. Never once did this person stop to think of all the bending over backwards and extra hours the other put in. It was all good while person A was reaping the benifits of what person B sowed, but when push came to shove, it was person A lashing out over something trivial.
A lot of people these days are only out for themselves, and rightly so...after they've mistreated others, they are all they have left. They draw a circle around themselves and their family (if that), and that's the only thing they focus on. There are a few souls out there on the contrary, however, that will go above and beyond the call of duty or what is asked or expected to do right by other people. They have drawn a circle around themselves + everyone they know, care about, and love and will watch out for them all. If you have a person like that in your life, no matter what facet, take care of them. Let you know you appriciate them - they could be gone in the blink of an eye...
If you are one of the ungrateful, selfish users that are trying to claw your way out of a hole you've dug for yourself, remember that pulling people down with you is NOT the way to go...Do not belittle, do not try to intimidate, do not try to manipulate the goodness around you...it will only make it harder for you, in turn, making you a more bitter peron in the end.
You reap what you sow. What goes around comes back around. Treat others as you would like to be treated...they all go back forever - and they are all true!
Abide by them.
