The People We Take For Granted

If you think for some time, I'm sure you can think of a few people in your life you take for granted. I always feel like it's important to let these people know how much you care every once in a while. What would you say to the person you take for granted, so they might understand how important they are?

Life is short and maybe I guess I only choose those people who worth my life, as possible choose the people who really have care about you then people with positive attitudes, like I said life is short we must take for granted those happy and trust worthy people and show them that they are important in our lives.

Definitely, I know we can only deal with so many people in a lifetime, and if that's the case the ones worth our time should definitely be appreciated.

I am sure that there are people that I take for granted without realizing or meaning to do it. I do try to make sure that the people I care about know how I feel about them, though. I have lost too many people in my life, and I try to make it a point to let the people I care about know that they are important, although I am sure there are times when I could do more and put more effort into this.

Losing loved ones is very painful, and is exactly why I say we should always show the ones we love how much we love them. I know we can all stand to do it a bit more, and I hope this discussion will help remind people to do that.

Awww! I'm sure your family appreciates you. If not you can always go on strike and teach them a valuable lesson. LOL

I give more attention than the few people in general. I want to see them do not feel as a few people. For that, we often share knowledge and experiences, motivating them to be more confident and enthusiastic about life.

Attention is not always easy to give, especially when there a bunch of things going on, but you are right, sometimes we need to just stop everything and show we still care what they think.

Well I have couple cousins who I have learned a lot! I don't usually say that them are really important to me or how I enjoy of being with them but I have said that once that I have learned a lot from them. Great way to show that you care about people is that when you do something with them. Go for visit and surprise them!

Wow cousins are the people I think we all take for granted. I try to visit my loved ones as much as possible. I hope it's enough to show I care.
