You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone

Life Lesson courtesy of The Super Flu:

There’s an old saying (#Nana wisdom) that goes:

You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.

My question, then, is why wait until it’s too late? There’s a simple solution instead. And it comes from one of the greatest guys I know. Find it in today’s Baby Step.

LESSON

When you or a loved one becomes ill (#Super Flu level), your priorities change quickly. Suddenly, you realize all the petty worries and concerns and annoyances and endless parade of items on your to-do list don’t feel quite so urgent anymore.

Instead, you hone in on what matters most…

• Loving your peeps

• Loving your life

• Loving yourself

And doing so unconditionally in this moment. Because, let’s face it, we’re not guaranteed the next moment. So why wait to do something later (#later never comes) when you can do a little something right now?

Because no matter how small and insignificant the act may be to you, it could mean the world to the other person.

• You could throw in a load of laundry for them.

• You could bring them a treat.

• You could sit with them and visit.

• You could call and check in.

• You could cheer them up with a funny meme.

• You could send prayers and blessings.

• You could let them know you are thinking of them and that they matter to you.

So don’t delay and don’t hesitate, and, to get you started, take a little advice from the Master of Harmony in today’s Baby Step.
