I was just scrolling my facebook feeds and I noticed this picture. It has a beautiful thing written on it. 'Go 24 hours without complaning' . I loved it so much and it made me think about how much I complain in one day. So I thought why not try this thing.
Well, In life I have seen people often wasting their time running after more and more comfort and wishing for better things. Like if you have 21 inch TV, you want 32 inch one. If you live in a flat, you need a bungalow. If you have small car you always are after buying a big car. If you have a smart phone you always need another new one and the latest one. In short we are never satisfied with what we have in your life. We always want something new. We never even care about what we have right now and we only focus on what new things we want afterwards in future. I am not telling that we should not buy new things or should not dream of new things. But I am just telling that we should learn to admire the things we have right now.
I am a big fan of 'The secret' book and I was reading 'The Magic' book recently which taught me to have gratitude in life. Gratitude means saying thank you for every thing and being grateful for even the smallest things we have.
Say thank you because you woke up this morning. Say thank you because you have a beautiful roof and a beautiful house for shelter, just think of people living on roads, you have so much comfort than them. Say thank you for the food you eat today because somewhere some person is starving, be thankful that you have great food to eat. Say thank you because you can see this beautiful day and beautiful world with this eyes, and you have two hands and two legs which helps you to walk, because not every one is blessed with it. We often complain that we want to look good, have a great face, have good skin, have a perfect body. But if you are blessed with eyes, ears, hands and legs that is more than enough. While eating food you should be grateful and say thank you because you have good health that you can eat tasty food, just think about person suffering from diseases wherein they do not get to eat this tasty food. There are many people who suffer from crohn's and colitis disease which affects the intestines of a person and as a cure sometimes a portion of intestine has to be removed .So your health is so much better than them, and still you are complaining? Say thank you when you buy anything from mall because you have enough money for that. In short you have so much to be thankful for so stop complaining about your small problems and stop complaining about the things you don't have, because you have so much more to be grateful for.
If you are reading this blog, that means you are well educated enough, you parents gave you good education that you can read, so be thankful. You have a computer, latptop or mobile phone ,You have an internet connection, you have two beautiful eyes that allows you to read. Above all you have money for all this things. You surely have a lot to be thankful for. So just don't compare your lives with the 25% population who comes from extremely rich background, instead think about the another 75% of population. Think about the people who don't have enough money that they can go to school, or people who are blind or deaf or have some kind of disability, or people who can't afford comforts of life. I mean we have so much easy life than them. We have so much in life then them. When you start thinking like this you will be even grateful for the smallest thing you owe.
I am not saying that you should not buy new technologies or dream of new stuff , of course you should buy them. I am just saying that we should not complain about what we do not have and instead focus and be grateful for what we have. "Because somewhere someone is dreaming to live your life".
So If you are reading this just try to follow the words written in the picture and go 24 hours without complaining, trust me you will notice the difference.
