The Importance of Little Things

Little things... How important they are in everyday life. Nothing can replace the cherishing attitude towards what you love so much. And he knows it. Remembers. You see, some people might not notice expensive gifts every day, but nothing compares to a spontaneous celebration when you’re sad; flowers to make you smile; pills when you’re sick. Little things... They are what make us so happy! Little things that he remembers. You remember. You all remember.

Someday you will understand

Someday you will understand that there are people who never betray... But for this, you will need to go through a lot of betrayals. Someday you will understand that external brilliance is nothing compared to inner beauty. Because everything on the outside is just until the first rain... And what's inside burns always! Even if it has faded to barely visible embers. But it's enough to purse your lips and gently blow—the fire will gradually reignite and warm you. Someday you will understand that many formulas and aphorisms you picked up in the world around you are empty, albeit beautiful, arrangements of words—nothing more. Only the truths you have reached yourself matter. Someday you will understand that kindness, tenderness, affection, and care are manifestations of inner strength, not weakness.

Quickly Forgetting is a Valuable Life Skill

One of the most useful life skills is the ability to quickly forget all the bad things: not to dwell on troubles, not to live with grievances, not to indulge in irritation, not to harbor resentment. It is not worth carrying various clutter into your soul.

Life-Changing Principles

Do not try to make others love you. If someone truly values you, they will leave no room for doubt. Consider intimacy not just as physical attraction. Be with those who justify trust. Surround yourself with those who appreciate you. If someone sees you as part of their life, they will surely find a way to integrate you into it.

Happiness in Marriage

Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the framework of joint marital life, little things become big. It is never too late to hold hands. Say 'I love you' at least once a day. Never go to bed angry. Under no circumstances consider each other's actions as taken for granted; courtship should not end with the honeymoon; it should last a lifetime. Same goals and shared objectives.

If you are not noticed and appreciated

Who thanks the sun for shining? No one. When was the last time you thanked your lungs for breathing? Or oxygen for allowing you to live? Did you pick apples and say, 'Thank you! Thank you! I'm so grateful!'? Unlikely, unless you're a very spiritually advanced person who practices the philosophy of gratitude. We simply use many things. They exist, we need them, and so we use them. That's completely normal.

If you are unnoticed and unappreciated

If you are unnoticed and unappreciated. If your kindness and care are devalued and unnoticed... So why be surprised if they use you and don't thank you? Or thank you with words, routine phrases, but pay nothing? You exist. You give apples. That's why you're used. They warm themselves with your energy, consume your resources, and eat your apples. But a person is not a tree nor a star. He is alive. He shares his own life energy, which he needs himself. He gives a piece of himself when he helps someone. And in the end, it gets tiring to give your life away to those who consume and don't even say "thank you". It gets tiring to be a tree.

If you are not noticed and not appreciated

The solution is one - stop giving. At least for a while, stop the flow of benevolence. Stop serving those who are capable of taking care of themselves. Stop giving your food vouchers to those who do not work. Stop giving apples for free and put up a price tag. Apples cost this much. Only then will they understand how valuable what you gave and did was.

If you go unnoticed and unappreciated

At work, one can take a vacation if they go unnoticed and unappreciated. If they got used to your constant labor, let them manage without you. And to relatives who regularly borrow money from you, you should politely refuse. Let them take out a loan from the bank. And see how much that loan costs. Sometimes that's the only way to stop being an apple tree - by not giving apples. And to stop being the sun - by not shining. Sometimes, you can rest too. We cannot always exhaust ourselves. And if people simply forgot how much you give - they will remember and understand. And they will appreciate you more.

If you are not noticed and appreciated

If you are not respected and deliberately devalued, they will drop off you like leeches. And they will go looking for a new target. A naive apple tree or a Christmas tree with gifts and toys. Have you seen what happens to Christmas trees afterwards? Where does the tree that was used end up? The artificial one is put away in a box. And the real one is taken to the dump. Think about this if your kindness and care are undervalued and unnoticed...

A Father's Wisdom on Opinions

A father wanted to show his son what it means to follow the opinions of others. They both rode on a donkey and traveled through nearby villages. In the first village, they were scolded for riding together on an animal without sparing it. The father got off. In the second village, the son was criticized for not loving his father, who had to walk. Then the father sat alone on the donkey and, in the third village, was scolded for his insensitivity to the young son. After that, they cut a pole in the forest, tied the donkey, and carried it. In the next village, they were criticized for the felled tree and their foolishness - after all, they could have left the donkey at home. Then they led the donkey by the reins, but in this case, they were called fools because the donkey walked in vain, without a purpose. In the end, the father told his son that it would always be this way - if you don’t think for yourself and live by the opinions and minds of others, you will never please anyone.

Self-Care: A Genuine Challenge

Self-care doesn't always look as appealing as it seems. Often, it means doing very unpleasant things — sweating through a workout, telling a toxic friend you no longer want to communicate, or finding a second job to finally start saving money. Or — the task of tasks! — being able to accept your true self, rather than taking on an unbearable burden in a desperate effort to meet an ideal, and then forcing yourself to take a 'break' from this reality with a bubble bath, a glossy magazine, and a phone turned off for the entire day.

Understanding True Desires

Knowing one's true desires is much harder than it seems to most of us; it is one of the most challenging problems of human existence. We desperately try to escape this problem by adopting standard goals as our own. Modern humans are willing to take enormous risks to achieve a goal considered as 'theirs,' yet they are extremely afraid of the risk and responsibility of setting genuinely personal goals.

Responsibility for Actions

It turns out that people feel more responsibility for actions than for inactions. Therefore, if one is destined to make a mistake, it is better to do nothing at all than to do it incorrectly. It turns out that a person is inclined to view inaction as passivity: I did nothing. And since he did nothing, he feels less responsible for the outcome. It seems to us that if one is destined to make a mistake, it is better to do nothing than to do something incorrectly.

Men and Women are Made for Each Other

Men and women, despite their differences and dissimilarities, are made for each other. No matter how much they try to mask their nature or hide their needs, everyone needs tenderness, care, and affection. It's always evident when someone is happy in a relationship. They never chase after the attention of others; the attention from their partner is enough for them.

We don't display our dearest ones on social media

The most precious and beloved people we do not display on social media, posting a large number of photos for everyone to see. We don't write statuses about them or add their pages to our bookmarks. We protect the closest ones from curious and not always kind eyes. We don't kiss the dearest ones on camera. We are next to them not for someone to die of envy, but simply because we love them. And we keep some in our hearts...
