Appreciating Life's Unexpected Gifts

As a kid and even now there are really 2 types of gifts we get... gifts that are awesome and gifts that we are like yeah thanks for the thought but not too stoked on. - Typically the gifts that we celebrate are the things that are unnecessary like a new hot wheels or remote control airplane. Although these are dope at the time, they loose their luster over time. But then there’s the other gifts. The ones that we could honestly care less about but after time, we end up needing it way more than any of the other gifts we were stoked on. For example, I got a Costco card for Christmas. I’m a geek for getting deals so I was stoked but most people would probably look over it, but in reality it’s been my most used gift all year (besides the chocolate covered almonds that were gone by day 2, also from Costco lol) - I wonder if there are some gifts in your life that you are overlooking right now because they aren’t sexy or immediately useful. Maybe you’re wishing you could play basketball in the NBA or be a Grammy winning artist. Those are the gifts the world celebrates as amazing. But maybe you are really good at relating to people. It’s not a super noticeable skill all the time but it opens up a world of possibilities if you use it wisely. - The point is, all gifts are important. Don’t write off what you’ve been given because it is most likely your biggest asset. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #hawaii #passionpassport #nakedhawaii #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #sunset #adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #旅行 #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #景色
