April End...End of Appreciation?

     

 Good morning fam, readers, subs and fellow beer heads. How is everyone doing today? Hope you all are as excited as I am this morning. Wanna know why I am super duper excited?...well you should guess. If your guess was that I am thankful for life and my blog theeeen.....you are WRONG! I mean yes i'm thankful for life and every single one of you but that 's an everyday thing. I'm talking of this morning in particular. Well today spells the end of this month that's why I'm happy! Still don't get it...? Well it means that my salary is coming soon. If there was a way to combine Shoki , Galala and Azonto, i'll be doing all of 'em all at the same time right now but since I stand a chance of breaking my hips then i'll just pass on that. Hopefully the boss man wouldn't duct my pay this month, I will try to reduce my late coming but i'm not promising anything. Lol. Alright enough of the rant for this morning, moving on....

Secondly I want to remind you guys that today will be the last opportunity to vote on this months poll.  The pole is on the left side of the blog and is titled "What is the number 1 reason for Marriage Failure"...Only those browsing via PC, laptop or tablets would be able to see it, those on mobile devices won't. It was introduced on THIS POST HERE so you can still read up on the post, drop your detailed reasons on the comment section (especially mobile phone users) and still vote on the poll. By tomorrow we will remove that one, call the results and put up a new poll. Hope you guys will keep participating, you all have been great so far. Okay then with that said we move on to the main topic for the day... Is today really the End of appreciation?





If you have been following this blog or joined at least, this month. You might have noticed that we give monthly focuses to keep us in track every month and to help in our personal development. Well even if you haven't then this months focus was about appreciation (CLICK HERE TO READ THE APRIL'S FOCUS). Being thankful for everything around you and appreciating the little things that comes so easily to you that you neglect them. There was something that actually happened that made me decide on making appreciation this months focus. It was a kind of disappointment I received from someone I expected better from. Maybe I expected too much, I don't know but I personally believe that even if a person shows you kindness every single day and helps you, you shouldn't get too comfortable and start taking the person for-granted, the least you can show is a little appreciation for their efforts to help you out. I got furious but kept it to myself with hopes of confronting him at the right time. I started thinking to myself...is this really the End of Appreciation? Why are so many people so ungrateful for the little you can do and when you can't do any more you become the enemy.
       When I and this someone had a little fall out because of lack of appreciation from his own side, I started to think back and go really deep into my thoughts. I started calculating the times that I myself had done something similar to someone without even knowing (I judge myself a lot). So at the end of the day I broke it down to the most basic stuff and realized that even the air that I breathe comes so easily to me that I neglect it(yes I thought that far..sue me. lol). I started realizing that every single one of us is guilty of lack of appreciation in one way or the other, it's just that we do it at different levels. It however only gave me a reason to forgive my friend and just look over what he did, it also gave me more reason to never judge anybody especially those who write to me for help via the blogs DEAR RALPH SECTION. Remember we never judge here at AskRalph! Yeap....we rock like that. So that was how I came up with this months focus....



     With all these in my head, last night I was also thinking of what the next months focus should be and I have come up with something already (don't worry I'm not saying it till tomorrow so pull up your breeches. lol...). As I was thinking of this months focus and what next months focus should be, I realized something. So many people might read these focuses and not implement them and the few that implement might forget about it once the month is over. The thing is that I give out these monthly focuses for you to learn from them. I do them so that you implement them in your everyday life till they become a part of you. The end of April shouldn't be the end of appreciation. Just because the month goes by doesn't mean you don't settle and appreciate those little things around you. These monthly focuses are meant to be followed religiously by you and they are mean to teach you. You are meant to get used to them as the months go by, so do not just discard them the moment the calendar reads 30th or 31st. Make them a part of you and let them keep developing you every single day of your life. If you follow these focuses the way you should then trust me, by the end of the year you will find your self to be a better version of you than you were as at the beginning of the year. Read the messages and let them sink in. Let them guide you every single day and learn to give them the chance to improve you by opening you heart,body, mind and soul to them.

Remain appreciative of everything you have today, no matter how little it might be. It is through appreciation of what you have today that you will have the opportunity of having something better tomorrow.

Good morning once again you crazy people!
