Bitching for no reason...

[Charles]

I am in no way trying to piss you off, but you're miserable because you're making yourself miserable. I'm sure that is you pay attention to your thoughts, you will realize that you're dwelling on the notion that you're miserable, thus conditioning yourself to be miserable.

The solution is simple, stop doing it. Accept the fact the no one or nothing is perfect, including yourself. Realize that whatever is eating at you is neither good or bad...it simply is. It's like a rock in your path. Either push it out of the way or go around it. Or take a different path. Just don't waste your time focusing on the rock, it is unworthy of your attention.

I realize this is pretty lame, but you can either be miserable or happy, they both require the same amount of effort. You can either focus on the damned rock in your path, or ignore it and go somewhere else.

And while you're at it, take a look in your rucksack. You'll probably find that it's full of past miseries. So dump them out right beside the rock and lighten your load.

You don't need to drag them along, you'll find plenty of miseries on down the road. You don't need 'em anyway, unless you're a misery collector...like my sister in law.

Think about it, things aren't so bad that someone else doesn't have it way worse.

PS: The only reason I'm wasting my time writing this is because I used to be a misery collector too...until I realized what I was doing.
