I am always telling people that it is my belief that I was not put on this earth to work my butt off. I can go off on a rampage about how crazy it seems to me that I am sending my 9 and 11 year off to school for more hours in a week than I am willing to put in at my job. And then, as if the 37 hours they are gone isn’t enough, they come home with at least another hour of homework each night. I have a hard time stomaching the thought of sending them to school for 12 years, only to know that for most careers they will need to go on for another 2-5, just to have the possibility of even being considered for the job. It drives me bonkers when 3 out of the 4 corners have a gas station on it, or when there are competing drug stores opposite each other on the same street. Ooh-ooh, what makes me even more furious is that there are two dollar type stores within a quarter mile of each other, and at least 2 more just in my community alone!
The truth is I could fill up pages with this stuff, but something just hit me. I’m an expert at complaining. I always have a gripe about how or why I think things should be different. Without giving it a thought I could tell you what I don’t like or what I don’t stand for. Actually, this part I already knew. The part that just hit me was……….Duh, instead of spending all my time griping and complaining, why not say what it is that I do believe in and be more solution oriented. Why not replace my negativity for a positive approach?
Hmm, doing something like that would take courage. Others might not agree with me, they might criticize my ideas and call me crazy. What if they don’t understand me? Why does this sound so familiar?!
