Everything is so easy to get & so easy to throw away...

As I sit here at a coffee shop drinking my 5 shot espresso over ice, because I'm obviously super tired haha, I cant help but people watch. A cute older married couple drinking there black coffee sitting talking about there plans for the day, a college kid with about ten books in from of him reading, a mother talking on the phone as her five year old is playing on his ipad. I look at the older couple and cant help but have so much respect for there generation. They literally had to work for everything they have, they cherish all of the things in there lives because they had to earn it. Our generation is filled with consumers who value things rather then the price of things. Everything is so easy in our generation and the minute it gets the least bit hard we have the tendency to just leave and move on to the next thing. Nothing is valued.  While generations before ours fixed things that were broken, we leave it broken and find something new. This mentality plays into our everyday life be it in our physical belongings or our relationships. This is why our divorce rate is so high people are always looking for the next best thing, yet the best thing could be right in front of them and they don't even see it. I've fallen guilty of this myself and I have made a stand to change. I always thought I was born in the wrong era, but what I can do is change mine. If I change the way I am, the way I think, and start cherishing my possessions and relationships my reality could be the era I most desire. We all have the ability to change our future and get everything we want we just have to change our way of thinking, change our behavior and we can have it, and I will have it all!
