Just recently, I sort of realized how there are so many downers incessantly complaining about everything and anything they can possibly find around them. They are literally never ever happy and really the sad part is that they steal other people's positive energy by trying to put others in the same bad mood...
But really, how can you expect your life to be perfectly happy all the time?!! I understand that no one is happy all the time. Of course, we go through bad times every now and then. At the end, it's about how you would accept such situations and deal with those griefs, sorrow, anger and all those emotions that you are not exactly fond of.
In fact, all your complaints and disappointment stem from high expectations from anything e.g. others, society, the world... Stop expecting so much from others and try to look into your inner-self, reflect yourself and start putting things into perspective.
When you have issues (mostly your issues will involve other human beings directly or indirectly), stop blaming others for everything and try to understand and communicate. These things of course take a lot of patience but if things don't work out after you give it a try, then walk away. Don't complain nor let them upset you - just leave it and accept how some things and people out there are different from you. The moment you are starting to get upset heavily, you are giving away your happy and positive energy.
I've recently encountered a few people trying really hard to make me feel bad with their perpetual negative energy but!! I survived!! AND! realized how I've grown some thick skin as they unfortunately failed. :-) This may sound crazy but I picture some kind of silvery bubble around me when things are about to get upsetting. I tell myself I am protected by some kind of silvery shield around me and nothing trivial can really get into the shield to get me.
A. Life indeed is beautiful and you only live once.
B. Most likely your problem is nothing compared to those dying of hunger out there.
C. Be grateful.
D. Try to focus on the solution and be happy again.
Not that I've lived that long and that I know the best on how to live life but my recent experiences and realization just brought me so much balance and joy in my life. Don't let things bother you easily you downers, complainers and sensitive people out there. Life's short so, stop wasting your time on the negative side of life and be happy!!!
Now, what is it going to be? It's up to you to shape your own life: a happy face or a sad face? xxx

ReplyDeleteGreat point "stop expecting so much" and I absolutely dislike people blaming others and taking no responsibility for their own position in life. I have people that are very close in my life (family) and one of them has never once admitted their faults and blames others in ludicrous amounts for everything...I always would try to get them to understand and argue the "positive" side..yet it was always a losing battle to their "negative energy". After many years to no avail I was at a loss until...I made an agreement with myself to accept them and everyone for who they are. I came to the realization that by trying to help the ones I love I am coming off as judgmental and by accepting them I can understand better how to help them in their own way. See, trying to help, I became bitter and over consumed by the failure, since we can't actually change anyone and we surly can't help those who are not willing to help themselves. With accepting that they may stay this way, we will never be let down or defeated...gaining this positive momentum, we can make the best progress towards positive..as success usually begets success and failure begets failure.
