Saying that I care about someone is hard for some people. People don’t really know how to appreciate others. They find it difficult to do. Is not like they don’t want to but it is kind of too much to express. In their heart, they really love and appreciate people but they need a little push to say it. When someone does something nice for you, they assume that you have to say thank you, when you don’t say it, you loose those people.
Appreciation should be an easy task for everyone of us. One way or the other, we all have different ways in communicating with people and showing them how much we love them. It is not only when you see people that you begin to tell stories of why you haven’t checked up on them for the longest time and you begin to apologize and explain yourself. How do you think they will feel? Some of these people around us, have taking it on their own free will to help you, to stand by you and do a lot even more than we could think of. I mean you call them your friend or family member but yet to pick up your phone and call is hard.
When you need something, you quickly call them and you are expecting them to help you again and again, trust me, they may not help you. Even if you beg and plead, they won’t help you. Its because of how you have misbehaved when they truly helped you. Everything is not about money, its far more than that. It is the money money matter that gets into our heads and we don’t know the value of the person, we have in our lives. No one is saying you should disturb the individual every single time, NO, at least once in a while, you show them how much you care. If you haven’t seen the person in weeks, days, months, you check on the person. This is how someone close to you falls sick or dies and you won’t know because you didn’t check up on him or her or a group of people you know. The funny thing is that we expect the same in return which is selfishness. If you love someone, you have to show it. There are plenty of ways to do it, by understanding the person, listening to the person, standing by the person, sharing things with the person, acknowledging them, providing good advise to the person when they need it and more, that is care.
Don’t loose the real people around because you don’t check up on them. It may just be too late when you remember or you are about to start it. JUST DO IT.
