What do you think?

You know what they say right?

Thoughts become actions.

Not just in the positive sense. But in the negative as well.

One of my pet peeves are people who complain ALL THE TIME. The minute you ask them how they’re doing, it’s like the floodgates open.

“Ohhh these damn bills”….”Ohhh my man is an idiot”…….”Oohhh this chick is getting on my nerves”…….”Ohhhh I can’t find a man”………..”Ohh life sucks”

*Yawn*

No disrespect. I know times are hard but can you find something to celebrate about life? Anything? How about the fact that you’re breathing to say those complaints?

Anything?

When my mom was raising me as a single mom, working two jobs, basically busting her backside, I rarely heard her complain to someone outside of family, that life was kicking her butt. She smiled, said everything was good, and took it in stride unless of course she really needed help.

I guess she passed that on me and it took me a while to get here but I’m here.  Even if things are bad, if you ask me, 9 times out of 10, I’ll tell you that everything is good because I don’t want you in my business and everything really is good, I’m just going through a bump in the road. Everyone has to go through some type of journey but not everyone seems to learn the lessons.

I cut a good amount of people from my life just because of their attitudes and after being be-friended by a few on Facebook recently, I’m glad I did what I did.  Some were negative to me. Some weren’t exactly supportive. As much as I tried to be supportive to them, they negate me.  Then all of sudden it felt like their life became my life.

And when I told someone to “stop bringing the world into their problems” , they got mad and called me selfish. Good riddins’…..

If you make a bad decision, well, it’s a bad decision. Deal with it and correct course along the way.

Be responsible for your own actions. Then get back to handling your business.
