Every so often, something happens that we least expect. It’s completely out of the blue and impossible to prepare for, but in comparison – everything else seems insignificant. Suddenly mundane activities seem pointless, those worries you thought you had previously seem trivial. We are forced to to look at our lives in a different light, re-evaluate our priorities and more often that not, be thankful for the things and people we take for granted the most.
It should not take this ‘something’ to make us realise how selfish, stupid or ungrateful we are being. Sometimes, just watching it happen to someone else is enough to have a short-term effect on us. It’s happening every day, every minute, every second to people all over the world… and yet somehow, we live life under the impression that it will never happen to us. We need to banish this false sense of security, we need to stop being so naive.
Make the effort to see that someone, send that text, make that call. Don’t wait a minute longer.
