This is the philosophy I follow in life. In the midst of misfortunes, accidents, unessential things and series of unwanted events occurring in the present time, still, I find reasons to appreciate things that truly matter. The beauty of nature, the silence of the heart, and the fulfillment of contentment in life, and everything in between; they are all worthy of appreciation.
People see things less now, especially when they think the value of that one particular thing is low. People appreciate the more extravagant things rather than the simple ones. They accede to the ones that gain more attention; ones that should not be given even a single ounce of it. How many times have we seen a pretty rose much more than a stunning tulip? When did we last appreciate the blue, untainted skies rather than the shapely clouds? To whom did we choose to feel indebted towards: the truthful enemy or the fake friend? See, we show appreciation to the things that are of lesser importance to us, or rather, those need not to be appreciated. It may get kind of boring to keep appreciating the old ones. Try seeing outside of the box and learn to be thankful for the other things outside of your "appreciation comfort zone".
And what gift is reciprocated with my appreciation? Their appreciations. People who are thankful for things are also constant recipients of a million thanks back for whatever they have done to someone or for something. It's like that mantra for the Code of Hammurabi and the one Jesus taught us: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever you do to others will be done to you." Maybe not all will appreciate you, but hey, some will still.
Continue realizing everyone and everything's worth in this world, and surely, they will also appreciate your worth here.
