Stop Complaining and Start Living

Those of you who woke up this morning with health and a functioning body should drop to your knees and bless God, and thank him that you do not have to wait for someone else to take you to the toilet when you need to go.

 If you live in your own house and can pay your bills, feed your family regardless of how modest the life, there are so many for whom that can only be a dream and a fantasy. Do not be so caught up chasing what you don’t have that you forget to see what you do have. Many of us think only of the next level and fail to appreciate how truly blessed we are right where we are. Don’t make that mistake, it robs you of happiness. If you have one friend in the world cherish them, there are many who are dying of loneliness.

By going and seeking out the people who really have it hard you would get to see your own life in perspective. The secret of happiness is acceptance, it is managing circumstances, it is gratitude for blessings even as we hope and strive for more. The believers know this, and they live peaceful and happy lives. 

Forget the people who have it better than you, go find the people who have it worse and bless them. For example, spend time with the disabled, people at hospice, and nursing homes. All in all, stop complaining and start living.
