Why is it that we are always complaining? Have you ever caught yourself saying any of these things: there just isn't enough money to go around, the taxes keep going up, my work is driving me batty, we can't seem to get ahead?
For those of us who are fortunate enough to live in a democratic society, we often complain about the smallest issues. And, they are small issues when you take a moment and put yourself in a place where weekly suicide bombers kill at will. And, isn't it just a little sad to think that we often here those around us, or ourselves, complain as though we lived in a war torn society where families are never sure if they'll have enough food for a few more days, or even if they'll be alive to see their children grow.
Do you think that this is because we take for granted what we have? Do we expect more only to satisfy are self-serving interests?
Our blessings, in a free society, are visible when we step back and survey the world around us. Our blessings are invisible, however, if we are only self-serving. Undoubtedly, there are some issues over which you have little or no control. So what can be done?
Do we moan and complain, or do we get up from our padded chairs and look beyond the issue and strive for the solution. For each problem we face, we have the opportunity to make it better or to resolve the issue, or to work toward a positive change. We aren't beaten to the ground, we are not incarcerated for trying to make changes, and we aren't cast out to live a nomad's life.
It is far too easy to cry "poor me" than to set yourself into motion by taking action. Yes, blessings are everywhere if we have the insight to open our eyes. Problems are everywhere yet they pail in comparison to the plight of hundreds of thousands of others less fortunate.
If you have a job you don't like, at least you have a job. If your job is driving you batty, stop complaining and take action to either change your job environment, or find another job. If you don't have the skills to get a better job, whom should you blame? Take responsibility and accept the blame. After all, you have the choice - you are blessed with the opportunity to acquire new skills from thousands of schools, or courses to chose from.
Blessings are real and visible when viewed from cleansed eyes; eyes that can see possibilities, not problems, eyes that can see opportunities, not spite, eyes that can see new days ahead not a life filled with excuses.
Before you cry "foul", think about all the blessings that are visible. Each day is a new day, a day to start with positive actions based on the blessings you have
