There are so many things in life you should pay more attention to but sometimes, you can only give importance to a few depending on your circumstance, the moment in question and your priorities & responsibilities.
In today’s post, I wanted to share with you a few things you should consider giving more importance to which might be obvious but I still wanted to share them in a post. Without further ado, let’s jump into the post!
Il y a tellement de choses dans la vie auxquelles vous devriez prêter plus d’attention, mais parfois, vous ne pouvez accorder de l’importance qu’à quelques-unes, selon les circonstances, le moment et vos priorités et responsabilités.
Dans l’article d’aujourd’hui, je voulais partager avec vous quelques points auxquels vous devriez accorder plus d’importance, qui peuvent paraître évidents, mais que je tenais tout de même à partager dans un article. Sans plus attendre, passons à l’article !

THE QUALITIES IN A FRIEND
Thinking about the qualities of a future partner or a potential significant other is very much considered the norm but I personally think you should apply the same rule for friendships as well, if not more for friendships than romantic relationships. Looking at a romantic partner’s flaws will give you a better understanding if that person is truly compatible for you whereas looking at a friend’s qualities will give you a better understanding as to why this person feels connected to you.
There are proverbs and sayings in many languages which state that you could predict someone’s morals, values & beliefs or even the type of person they are based on their friends. I don’t necessarily agree with that notion because how can you judge someone based on another person’s words & actions, especially when nobody truly knows anyone including those who are the closest to you.
With that said, I do think there is some truth to that statement. You cannot judge or make assumptions of a person based on their entourage but depending on the context & situation, you can spot inconsistencies which will help you figure out if that person is really who they are portraying to be or just a mere illusion.

THE LOVE AROUND YOU
The media and the society have always highlighted and portrayed romantic love to be the highest form of love you could ever experience. It is a type of love which intertwines with others, it’s very much connected with familial, platonic, sexual and even self-love. This is not something that you could experience with other types of love which marks a distinction in itself.
However, I do not think it is the most (or only) fulfilling, unconditional or purest love out there. Love is present in many shapes & forms. So many people chase looking for this one person their entire lives only to find out that the people closest to them were already giving them the most unconditional & fulfilling love they could possibly have ever experienced. A soulmate doesn’t have to be romantic, this person could very well be a parent, child, sibling or friend.
Even the love you have for a passion or hobby could be way more fulfilling than the love you share with another person. Romantic love can be life changing but you have to remember that it might not be the most fulfilling if you aren’t with the right person, and the probability of finding the right person is purely based on luck & fate. Instead of chasing after something that has no certainty, nurture the relationships around you. You might not only find happiness & fulfilment but those relationships might also help you figure out the right one when the time arrives.

THE PERSON YOU ARE
I think it’s extremely important to treat yourself as a person before anything else. The wording of this sentence might feel weird or even like a cliche but once you start giving importance to yourself and treat yourself as an individual objectively then you will start appreciating who you are as a person.
I’m not saying that you should view yourself as a separate entity but more so as a person who is trying their best like everybody else. When doing something, visualising that the future ‘you’ will appreciate this action will motivate you.
The same goes for when you have to do something because you forgot about it, understanding that the past ‘you’ might have been tired or even lazy but tried their best will help you emphasise with yourself and see the bigger picture. This will also protect and prevent you from dysfunctional people & environments because you will start to view yourself from an objective point of view and you would want to be treated the same way you treat others.
