“If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.”Yogananda
By complaining we give away our power to whomever or whatever it is we’re complaining about. I think most people want to be around positive and happy people. I do not want people to think that I am trying to point out negativity.But,i’m pointing out my frustrations with myself.I noticed when something happens that is out of my control, I tend to become anxious and complain a lot.More so now,that my mom is going threw brain cancer.So much of the process of her treatment is out my control.Also,me trying everything and turning over every rock financially to be there with her,has made me frustrated and very unhappy.
At times venting just feels good sometimes,but I really think it sounds like negative dribble coming out of my mouth, and mostly it leaves me feeling unhappy,and venting toward and at the wrong person.I guess we all need to take time to look within ourselves.And feel we don’t want to limit ourselves and feel like we cannot vent.Venting is good sometimes but depends on the ways we do it.That the venting leaves us feeling, we can just let it go,that somethings are out our control.
We all have to realize what’s important,realize what we have, and understand that complaining isn’t going to fix anything. If we don’t like it, we gotta change it, and if we can’t change it,then we’ve got to move on.Being happy in negative situations is quite difficult to achieve.My mom only has one life and it’s a short one at that.The more i come to the realization that cancer will take her from me.The more each day that’s spent being miserable or frustrated in situations, I have no control over, is a day wasted,a day that could’ve been spent doing something enjoyable with my mom,making a lasting memory.
I LOVE YOU MOM.
