Ok! Lets get down to the nitty gritty of life!

We as a being are not promised or due but two things at all (outside of religion).....death and the good or bad that comes until then.

We could at birth die for lack.

We should be thankful that we were given love and caring to get of age.

We could then live in a hole in the ground and dig for roots to eat.

Our surroundings change, giving better or worse opportunity to us to make life as we wish.

So if your bank account is shy, your TV broke, or your alone. You have the opportunity to rise above it and make it better.

YOU!!!! make your life....if you loose a mp3 player somewhere....don't let it destroy your whole world INSIDE YOU.

You still are far better off than if your life was in the woods, in a mud and stick house with cow dung stacked against the walls for cooking fuel and heat. Eating dried meat and fruit....keeping food in a root cellar. Hunting is the snow for food so you don't run out before spring.

If you get the flu, be thankful you can get medicine and be warm. In old times you died.

There are people who are dying today and you are not. So don't let Christmas get you down because you are alone.

Do something! You have more opportunity than you can take advantage of, if you can see it and if you do what is needed and not what you only want.

Be happy in what state you find yourself, be thankful that it is not worse like others have.

Be Happy! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

So! You are having a bad day! it's Christmas and you are alone!

Go to the hospital and go to the emergency room. Look at the man burned from head to toe, damamged in a car wreck, tubes in all his limbs coughing up fluid from his lungs, screaming from pain and dying.

TELL HIM YOUR PROBLEMS!

IF HE RAISES UP AND SAYS, "POOR GUY! YOUR HAVING A BAD DAY!"

Then your having a bad day!

IF NOT! STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF AND BE THANKFUL!

GET OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF AND HELP SOME ONE WORSE AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!teddybear

How true Rilly.

Years ago, I had a client who was SO into the 'poor me' bit. I really did tire of it and told him I would love to put him on the next 'plane to Bosnia. Then on his return, could he please report back to me.doh

Then by definition, they don't have 'everything'.

They lack a biggie.

Gratitude.

And you've done it well, in your unique way. Love the burn unit comparison...that really does put things in perspective.

teddybear Keep your positive outlook! I love it. And you're right...there's always someone worse-off than you. That's what I remember to pull me out of the blues, too, Rilly.

Thanks for sharing that piece reallyniceguywine thumbs up

I too, appreciate what I have and don't care what I don't have (kinda lol). But really, it can always be worse as I like to say.

Cool....

Let's put some more cream on top......

Good luck is random.....it is there for all and sundry to harvest...

but....

if one is enshrined in his(/her) own woes and insists on covering himself with dark clouds, luck might just pass him by and he doesn't even realize it....

whereas if someone is keeping his eyes out with a hopeful perspective of better things to come.....lo and behold, when a good chance passes he grabs it....

ergo....

LIVE THE MOMENT....AND THE MOMENT IS NOW.

yay
