The most expensive gift

This may not be the most appropriate blog post to begin with but whenever I see myself in between a conflict of mind vs heart. I tend to listen to what my mind (logic and rationality) says but follow what my heart (emotion) has to say.

I think that the greatest irony of Life is that we spend most of our time with people who are least concerned about our happiness and well-being and spend very less time (less quality time) with people who will most of time ( if not always) show up when you are in pain and expect nothing in return.

At times of heavy personal crisis. Your boss will not be there for you, your co-workers will be busy with their routine, even your friends may not support you. But you will see your  family and a selected few among your friends surrounding you with open arms to catch you before you fall.

How funny it is that we have less time for those who add the highest value to our existence. Who give us the greatest gifts like love and joy, thereby creating memories that will be preserved in our hearts forever.

I think 'time' is the greatest of all resources that we are blessed with. Time is the building block of life, the most sacred gift from God to us and so one of the purest ways of expressing your love for someone is by giving them your time wholeheartedly.

Thought to ponder - Giving someone your time is like giving them a piece of your Life, this cannot be substituted with something tangible that money can buy.

Thank you for your time, please feel free to drop in a comment below.

With love and hope,
