“Manusia mudah lupa”. A literal translation of this famous Malay proverb is “Human is forgetful”. It is known that despite being the most advanced creature, human often forget. We forget what time it is, the add maths we used to learn in high school, the histories, and in the mess of all the things human forget is their blessings.

We forget the freedom of simply being able to breathe freely when the flu hit. We forget to be thankful for the amazing dishes our mom made and started to miss it when we are far away from home. We forget the feeling of staying up late trying ti finish our favourite book and reminiscing the feeling when we are too busy to finish a single book. We forget the silly jokes and memories with our friends that literally made you laugh till you hurt your stomach and started to wish how we would want to capture the moment even more.

Every single one of us forget a lot of our simple blessings without exception. I never realises how God keep sending me signals that I never care to noticed. A series of unnoticed blessings I forget to say thank you for. My healthy body, my family, my loyal friends, my education to name a few out of millions I took for granted.

When I was pondering upon my life during a picturesque afternoon walk, I noticed that throughout every stage of my life I will always have good people surrounding me and help to ease my journey. Certainly there were and will be bad encounters to teach me a thing or two. But there will always be someone for me to rely on.

Now look at your surroundings, look at yourself. What are the millions unnoticed blessings you often forget to be grateful for?
