Both Richard and I feel as though we have had another rough week at work and sometimes it is hard to not get down on your life. It is easy to get overwhelmed, complain about work, who did what to us, what is wrong with so many other and so on…. etc.
What people fail to realize is how lucky we all really are. We have a roof over our head, food on our table, family that loves us. That is more than 85% of the world has and yet people still complain about their life.
I think people need to spend less time complaining about their life and others; spend more time enjoying and being thankful for the life you have. Don’t complain about your family members, be thankful they are alive and you have the ability to speak with them. Many people have lost their family members and would give anything to be able to speak to them one last time.
If you think about it… if you were to die tomorrow would it be worth it spending all that time complaining? Wouldn’t you rather focus on the good in your life?
I think when people start to complain they should instantly have to write down 3 items they are grateful for. It is hard to complain and grateful at the same time.
