Would you(includes me!!!) please stop grumbling and get a life???


























Been going out with friends and co workers for dinner often in this last year or so. Most of the time we keep complaining about hating our jobs and how we should quit (like we have said for the last two years), how living at home was not great, but that we couldn't afford to buy a place/car and stuffs.

I have been reflecting on it for sometime and I have realized all of our long conversations are nothing but sheer complaining. Of course most of my post atleast 3 / 4 of them this month were nothing but complaining. Good that I got to see that link, the what kinda rocker are you stuff, which redeemed me from writing about my work and stuff.

I really don't have much to say!!!Honestly, I don't know what to say to people who just keep complaining about everything. the U2 song, Stuck in the Moment is something which I would love to play in my mind everytime I go into those situations:

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do

I know it's tough
And you can never get enough


Of what you don't really need now
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I have realized that I have no patience for people who are stuck in the very situations they put themselves in and do nothing to get out of it. In my opinion, everyone has the ability to live deliberately, purposefully and make decisions that take control of their own lives. There's no reason, that would prevent them from fixing all these things and getting on with her life and making things better for themselves.

Sometimes I think people just like complaining about their situations for the sake of complaining. They derive some sort of fulfillment/satisfaction from it, makes them feel like they are in this big life struggle (note: this is different from venting, which I think is a healthier way of talking through one's issues).

In reality, people know what's best for them - what decisions they need to make. They usually either don't want to confront those decisions or trick themselves into believing they don't have control over those decisions, and 9 times out of 10, they are usually wrong.If you don't like your job, your significant other, your attitude, your friends - do something about it! life is short and here for your taking - no excuses.

And that’s precisely what am gonna do!!!
