Before you take Things for Granted!

This is a tough message to hear, but let me explain

What if we woke up tomorrow with only what we were grateful for today? What would we have left? This should put it into perspective. It's so easy to get worked up on a daily basis. If you want to find a reason to get annoyed, you will. If you want to find a reason to complain about someone, you will. If you want to see someone get your nerves, you will. There are countless opportunities throughout the day to get frustrated, annoyed or disappointed at the people, places and situations around you. The point is, we don't see our lives as they are. We see our lives worse than they are. We shouldn't waste a second of our life complaining, because complaining doesn't solve the problem, instead it attracts them.

Whenever we complain about a pain, or a strain, or any situation in our life, we are stopping ourselves from change. And complaining is contagious. When we do it, we give it to everyone else around us. Which means now we are surrounded by a complaining culture. And we all know this; spending today complaining about yesterday won't make today any better. When we complain about our family, it's so important to remember that there is someone out there who just lost their parents. When we complain about our jobs, it is important to recognize that someone out there just lost theirs. When we complain about college or school, it's important to remember there are millions of children without access to education.

If today was the last day of your life, how could you change the way you speak?

If today was the last day of your life, how could you change the way you think?

If today was the last day of your life, how could you change the way you behave?

How could you change the way you connect to the people closest to you?

How could you change the way you interact with anyone you never know when the last thing you said is going to be the last time that the person hears your voice.

Are you happy with the last thing you said to a loved one?

Are you happy about the last thing you thought about them?

Are you happy with last way you behaved with someone in your life?

Go 24 hours without complaining and see how your life changes.

The secret to having it all is knowing that you already do. And remember, be careful to what you say to someone today because you may not have tomorrow to take it back.
