Taking things for granted...

There are many things in this world that we all take for granted. We never think about the fact that everything we have right now, in any single aspect of our life, can be taken away at any second, whenever, by whoever. We go to sleep every night, taking for granted the fact that we will wake up the next morning. We enter the bathroom to take a shower, taking for granted the chance of falling and breaking your head off the toilet seat. We take for granted the fact that we can afford to buy clothes, when in one day, all the money and possessions in your household could be withheld. We take ourselves fro granted, always limiting ourselves to that we have always done, never willing to strive for the further, take the risk, or the dive, as others say. The things we take for granted are not necessarily good or bad, but by remembering them once in a while, one can learn to appreciate everything that is around us. There are so many things in this world that we pass, but never actually focus on, so many things that we just slide by, without grabbing the opportunity. Taking chances is something you lack when you take things for granted. Life is only so short. Live it.
