To Complain or To Not Complain. That is the question. . .

  And NO is the answer. 
  Necessity number three = A positive attitude.  Almost anything is possible if one has a positive outlook.  With a pessimistic attitude, the life of that one person can be filled with stress, tears, and anger; the negativity of the pessimist will also drive others away.  All-in-all, a pessimistic attitude is not attractive- on anyone.
   When I look around and observe other people around me, I find many people not happy with their lives, or the things that surround their lives; for every other sentence is almost always a complaint. Sure, I complain myself too, don't call me a hypocrite; but after a while, complaining can really turn others off, and sometimes it can get just downright annoying.
   So why do people complain in the first place?
   I mean, common! Look at this earth we were given.  There is only one planet in the solar system fit for man, and somehow the first creation ended upon it. This world is a design; then, why do we complain about what goes on?
      Truth is, humans are selfish, and complaining is just one of the selfish traits we posses.  Think about it: when someone complains, "It's too hot in here," or "This test is too hard," or "Why can't you do it yourself," . . . when these complaints are said, the person saying them only had themselves in mind.
   How can we fix this problem? First, fixing a problem has to start from inside yourself.  In the end, only you can fix yourself. 
   Second, we must live a more positive attitude and outlook on things, and not always stare at the negative side of life.  Once we acquire the trait of optimism, many things will become easier, and relieve the need to complain.
   Complaining isn't always a bad thing, but too much of it becomes a bad habit, and many people in this modern world complain like it is their first language.  It can be a bothersome to others, and many-a-time it can discourage others.
   
   So stop complaining, put a smile and, and start living a positive life.  After all, this life is short, and you might as well live it wisely instead of foolishly.

“A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks.” – Oscar Wilde (1854-1900, author of The Picture of Dorian Gray)

 

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.  ~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book

Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.  ~Proverb

A Reason to Live.

   Necessity number two = A reason. Everyone needs a reason to live.  Many people wonder what to do with their lives; a life is worthless without a reason. 

 Life is like finding the right pair of glasses; once you find the right pair, you can do almost anything- and you have a reason to live- because you can see.

“Keep doing the right. God is building character in you, and you are passing that test. Remember, the greater the struggle, the greater the reward.”

“No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. He sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do.”

Strength to Carry On.

  Necessity number one = Strength.  Many people are weak, because they have not yet learned one of the most important attributes. Strength can come from many things, including God. One might not realize strength, until that is their only option; which has happened for many since the start of 2012.

  So this year, lets have strength to carry on, even when we feel like there is no hope left.

2012 = Strength.

"Let go of the things that can no longer be fixed. If you force to try to put them back, things will only get worse. Holding on is being brave, but sometimes moving on makes you even tougher!"

"Sometimes being strong means being able to cry. Sometimes moving on means being strong enough to let go."

Life.

"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe
