There
are people who will always find something to moan about no matter how bright
the situation may look to others. No matter how beautiful the painting is, they
would see a little stroke of the brush that was out of place. I used to think
that it was just people living in the developing world, under extreme poverty
that had this attitude because they are almost always frustrated and tend to
snap at every little irritation. I have since discovered that this is not
necessarily the case, there are people who always see what is wrong in any
given situation no matter what they society they live in. When I see people in
developed societies moaning about things that are considered miracles in
poverty stricken communities, I marvel. Moaning is different from rationalising
a situation and looking at what can be done to improve it, moaning comes from
looking at things from a victim's mentality. Some people always think they have
the short end of the stick no matter what you give to them. No matter how blue
the sky is, those who like to moan will search out a little cloud and focus on
it to the point that they imagine a heavy down pour. Those who love to moan
just suck the life out of everything, rather than fan the little flame to
become a huge fire, they will douse it with their depressing attitude and
quench whatever flame there is. Everyone has the ability to think like a victim
or a victor, whichever one you feed will grow to control your life. What you magnify changes everything; if you
magnify what is available, it will grow. On the other hand, if you magnify what
is deficient, even what is available will lose its significance and no one will
benefit from your existence. You either empower yourself and others by your
victor mentality or you deflate yourself and everyone around you by your victim
mentality. The only way forward is to always intentionally train yourself to
see value in everything or every situation. There is some good in everything if
we decide to look for it. You can only find what you are searching for. What you
overlook is someone else’s stepping stone, it all depends on your perspective. Life
is a choice and a decision, you either moan or you crown. The choice is yours. Do
have a great weekend!AFRICA IS A CONTINENT ON THE MOVE AND HER YOUTHS ARE HER GREATEST RESOURCE."We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future."Franklin D.
