Complaints

Complaints are a disease. 
Like an addiction, the habit of complaining subtly seeps under your skin and takes root in insidious ways. It poisons every cup, colors every experience until even the greatest of blessings feels like an impossibly heavy burden.

People who are addicted to complaining will always find something to complain about. No matter how good they have it, they'll never see it. They always find something or someone to blame for their perpetual sense of utter, inescapable dissatisfaction.

This is YOUR life, Beloved. One life, one chance to live without regret, no redos.
No one else can take the credit or the blame for the ultimate outcomes of your choices.
If you choose to seek out things to complain about, find ways to shift blame and avoid responsibility, you will set yourself up for a life of hardship which nothing and no one could ever free you from. 
Conversely, if you choose the feel grateful, take meaningful action, spread love, and never give up, you WILL thrive. Simple as that. If you make the choice to thrive, you will, and there is nothing in the world which could possibly hold you back. 
The second you choose to stop dwelling in and bemoaning what could've would've should've been, the second you stop complaining and start BUILDING, everything changes.
What you build is a direct reflection of the energy you put in. What are your priorities? How much are you willing to give?

Don't get me wrong, you deserve the WORLD.
You are INFINITELY worthy.
You are owed f**king NOTHING. 
Learn to love the process, and stop counting the externally measured results.
Learn to love losing, and relish the lessons as much as the blessings.

Opportunities are EVERYWHERE.
Luck comes to all of us.
It is the choices we make in the face of the opportunities which arise, that shape our lives.

Kick the addiction of complaining, and the complacency it breeds.
Live your life like every single breath you take counts.
Because it does.

It's time for all of us to stop complaining, and start doing. Stop waiting, and start living. 
Do you agree?
