In life there are things, opportunities and experiences that are worthy of gratitude, yet go unappreciated until it is too late. We may tell ourselves that we are doing our best to devote what time we can or that we have invested all the appreciation that is necessary to maintain a presence or some semblance of a relationship, but this is similar to paying only the minimum of a credit card payment.
Soon the interest rate increases because you are leaving a balance every month. Perhaps a few of your payments are late. You then incur fees. Neglect can lead to the card being maxed out and notices of failure to pay will be sent to you via mail and email. Finally, the phone calls begin badgering you throughout the day and, in most cases, you are forced to address the problem rather than avoid it with the hope of it just going away.
This behavior will eventually lead to having bad credit. When dealing with something that is owed gratitude rather than money, expressing a lack of appreciation is synonymous with having bad credit. Soon, that thing, opportunity or experience will be repossessed and granted to someone else and you will be left wishing you had been more diligent, more responsible, more appreciative.
What may be receiving your attention may be the very thing that is leading to your downfall, preventing you from addressing that which is most important.
So, look around and be honest with yourself. Have you neglected anything?
