Por eso nunca hay que dar la vida por sentada
You hear that a lot: ”Never take life for granted!” but what does it even mean and how to actually live a life that’s appreciative and filled with gratitude?
Estas son 10 cosas que puedes hacer para inspirarte a vivir de forma consciente, una vida más fácilllena de amor y esperanza.
Use your time wisely, it’s limited
“Never take today for granted, tomorrow might never come.” ― Matt Vella
No des por sentada la vida. Don’t waste your days. Sea lo que sea lo que creas que debes hacer, hazlo hoy.
“You can’t achieve that much in a day,” you must be thinking but that’s not true. You can tell your loved ones how much you care about them.
Puedes acercarte al menos un paso más a la consecución de tus sueños y objetivos. Puedes ser más amable con los demás seres humanos.
You can make yourself proud of the person you are today and not make excuses for all the things you do that you know you shouldn’t be doing.
Recuérdate a ti mismo que debes estar agradecido por lo que tienes
“When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” ― Gilbert K. Chesterton
Cada día es una bendición. La buena salud es una bendición. Un techo sobre tu cabeza es una bendición. La comida que comes hoy es una bendición.
La vida tal y como la conoces, por muy difícil que te parezca en un momento dado, te la pueden arrebatar en un segundo.
Es fácil que no vuelvas a tener la oportunidad de ver a tu familia o a tus amigos íntimos, de decirles que les quieres, de pasar tiempo con ellos y de hacer lo que sea que hagáis (aunque a veces esas mismas cosas te molesten).
Be grateful for whatever you have, because I can assure you, so many people out there have so much less and are still happy. Don’t take your life for granted.
Vive una vida consciente, aprecia la belleza del mundo
“The more often we see the things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.” ― Joseph B. Wirthlin
It’s in human nature to stop noticing the things we see every day, no matter how beautiful they are.
Estamos conmocionados y sorprendidos por la belleza de cosas que vemos por primera vez, pero cuando vemos ese mismo algo todos los días, ya no nos damos cuenta de lo bonito que es.
Try to remember how the things in your surroundings, in the world, in nature, made you feel in the first place. Don’t take life for granted.
By the time we’re adults, we’re already used to everything around us and we no longer appreciate its beauty.
Intenta mirar este mundo con los ojos de un niño. Intenta pensar en todo lo que te rodea y trata de apreciarlo por lo que es.
Las pequeñas cosas deberían hacerte feliz
“When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren’t grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” ― Cynthia Ozick
You should concentrate on figuring out what the biggest things are in your life, what the things are that make you happy every day, the ones you no longer notice while you’re waiting for a big thing to happen.
For me, it’s my family. I’m ashamed to say I take their well-being, health and presence for granted from time to time but I always manage to find my way back to being appreciative of their existence.
¿Qué es lo que más te gusta de la vida? Aprécialo. Nunca des la vida por sentada.
La tragedia puede ocurrir en cualquier momento
“We take life for granted, sleepwalking until a shattering event knocks us awake. Zen says, don’t wait until the car accident, the cancer diagnosis, or the death of a amado to get your priorities straight. Do it now.” ― Philip Toshio Sudo
Esperamos que nuestros familiares mayores tengan problemas de salud y acaben muriendo, pero nunca pensamos que el café que nos hemos tomado hoy con nuestro mejor amigo puede ser la última vez que lo veamos, ¿verdad?
Siempre pasan cosas, nunca sabes a quién puedes perder ni cuándo.
Sólo una espantosa llamada telefónica se interpone entre nosotros y la horrible información de que algo le ha ocurrido a un ser querido. Téngalo en cuenta.
Inspira tu propia fe
“How quickly we forget God’s great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.” ― David Wilkerson
Encuentra tu paz interior pensando en la religión, en cómo se creó este mundo y a dónde nos lleva todo esto. Intenta vivir tu mejor vida en nombre de Dios y de tu propia fe.
Be happy just to be alive, it’s a miracle
“Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.” ― Emily Dickinson
Yes, there’s a lot of happiness and excitement in the simple things, you just have to recognize it.
Do you have that one person who makes you feel so grateful to have them in your life? You’re just so happy that they’re alive and there?
Piensa así de tu propia vida. Alégrate de estar vivo, bien y allí donde estás. Trata tu vida como si todo fuera un milagro.
Piensa detenidamente en todo lo que tienes y das por sentado
“It’s not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.” ― Evan Davis
It’s good for you to think about everything you have and all the wrong ways you’re treating the things you have or the people you know. This helps you learn to never take life for granted.
¿Pasa mucho tiempo sentado sin hacer nada importante? Aprovecha ese tiempo para pensar qué podrías hacer de otra manera.
Maybe you should step up your self-care game or maybe there are people in your life you’re not spending time with when you should. Find a way to get yourself to appreciate all the things you dar por sentado antes de que desaparezcan.
El universo tiene un plan para ti, aprécialo
“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.” ― Mitch Albom
Stuff happens to you that makes you think your life will never be the way you want it to be. We’ve all been there. Trust fate, the universe and God to get you where you need to be.
Everything happens for a reason; it’s up to you to think hard about what it is that you really, really want and the universe will give it to you.
Enjoy where you are right now and don’t waste your days feeling sorry for yourself.
Haz todo lo posible por vivir una vida con pocos remordimientos
“Appreciate what you have, while you have it, or you’ll learn what it meant to you after you lose it.” ― Frank Sonnenberg
Todo esto puede desaparecer en un segundo. Ama tu vida, incluso las cosas estúpidas.
Enjoy it while it lasts and appreciate everything that you have, so you don’t get to find out how it feels when you lose something you never even tried to be grateful for.
