Published on August 4, 2019, by Sunny Bindra, this article highlights the tendency to appreciate things only when they are gone.
Running water, electricity, and internet connectivity are just a few examples of things we often take for granted until they are no longer available.
When we have these luxuries, we rarely stop to think about how much we rely on them. It's only when they are taken away that we realize their true value.
Similarly, good health, a growing economy, and excellent employees are often overlooked until they are lost.
As Bindra notes, 'It's only when the music stops and suddenly there aren't enough chairs for everyone to sit on' that we appreciate the value of these things.
The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of appreciating what we have while it's still available, and accepting its passing with grace when it's gone.
Bindra's reflection encourages readers to 'look around and see what you should be honouring and appreciating' in their daily lives.
