Isn't it so?

Easier to complain and to wonder of the What ifs that should fallen our way instead of our things that did turn our way?

We can ..... blame the weather, fatigue, etc etc for not getting into shape.

Blame technology or poor quality checks when things break down.

Blame work schedules when we don't show care & concern to the people that we should.

Blame the lack of opportunities when we remain single :) (Okay.. that's my excuse these days!)_

Blame XXXXXX for doing XXXX work wrongly etc.. 

and the list goes on.. (you get the picture...)

Sometimes, we even form groups to comfort one another to hear each other's grouses and sorrows.. And to me, that's not a bad thing; after all, emotionally we get a sense of relieve after a heartfelt session of pouring our hearts out ... irregardless if we need the advise melted out thereafter.

I'm just wondering aloud, if we spend the same amount of effort complaining sometimes on giving thanks for the things that were indeed in our favor, wouldn't life be radically different?

I know, we all love to hate that one person who seems forever cheerful. The one who can find the ray of sunlight in the darkest of storm. But hey, to be cheerful does not mean to rub your 'joy' in the wounds of others.  I'm most amused when I witness individuals who are blissful unaware of the plight of others; hence the barge of angry stares when a smile is seen in the mist of tears.

Hmm, but still little by little.. I hope to have more of that perspective in my life. 

Why?

Because, there is so much more to life than just whinning it away. There're so many more to explore, to experience.. to witness. Yes, I wouldn't hesitate to be a listening ear to my pals; but for me .. I want to challenge myself to not live in a life of excuses and complains.

Gotta get tough and in shape.

Just DO IT!
