What if the life you’re complaining about is actually the life someone else is praying for?

[Veronika_p]

Before anyone takes this the wrong way, I don't think it means we should feel guilty for wanting more.
You can be grateful for your life and still want to improve it. You can appreciate what you have while working toward what you don't have yet. Those two things can exist together ❤️

Maybe you're frustrated with your job, while someone else is desperately hoping to find employment.
Maybe you're tired of your small apartment, while someone else is dreaming of having a safe place to call home. 🏡

Maybe you're annoyed by your family's little habits, while someone else wishes they could sit around a dinner table with their family again.
Maybe you're unhappy with your appearance, while someone else would be grateful just to wake up feeling healthy

Maybe you're tired of the routine you've been living, while someone else is hoping for the stability and peace that you've started taking for granted.

And that doesn't mean your problems aren't realb ut sometimes we become so focused on what is missing that we stop noticing what is already beautiful 🌹

Your annoying little routine might be the stability someone has been searching for.
Your imperfect family might still be something someone else would give anything to experience.
So maybe the goal isn't to stop wanting more

Maybe it's to stop believing that having more is the only thing that will make us happy.
Keep growing. Keep dreaming. Go after the better job. Save for the bigger house. Fall in love. Travel. Build something. Become the person you want to be. ✨
But while you're doing all of that, don't forget to look around occasionally and say:
“I actually have some beautiful things in my life already.” ❤️

And if you're going through a difficult season right now, please don't think this means you should simply “be grateful” and ignore your problems. Keep going. Ask for help. Make changes. Take your time


Sometimes life gets better slowly, not all at once 🥰🌹🙏

We should be grateful for living the most privileged lives ever YET there are some who are more privileged. If we all had the same and received the same instead of a market driven economy, we'd all be content having enough and knowing everyone else did too. BUT too many immature and selfish folk don't like that idea because they have some kind of dominance fetish and WANT to see others suffer while they succeed

@Veronika_p
Thanks for the MHO 🥰

[NathanDavis]

every time I am facing a problem... I do remind myself of something similar to that

many out there who have it way worse and probably wishing their problems were more like mine and less like theirs...

perspective...

In around about way that's the way we all grow up we want and we work. And little by little we succeed we get everything we wanted we're happy we made it

And in time we have all this stuff and things and we realize we don't need it
We give it away because it makes us just as happy as when we bought it. It's not about what we have on the outside. It's more about what we have within

I am so greatful for who I am who i have become

than what I have
dont get me wrong I am so very grateful for every thing I have because I worked hard to get it

And im still building but just in different ways

I can't complain about anything

Because the moment I would I would catch myself and change it to a positive

I look at life different than most people
We come into this world we choose who we want to be we experience through everything we do

And everything we do is a learning experience everybody we meet is a learning experience in one way or another

If somthing is not right in our world we change it.

We are all where we want to be in life if we're not we change it

We never stop growing we always. go forward one way or another

Now im sitting thinking I missed something in your question I just woke up and maybe I read it wrong lol but if I did its ok this might be something I needed to hear my self say

[ohsheeT]

I guess i read it right im happy in my life and im in this world to help people become the best they can be

[ohsheeT]

I can also say if someone wants my life and they are praying for it all I can say you better be prepared I've done it al the hard way and I wouldn't change a thing

[sage2021]

And if you're a simple person like I am, it doesn't take much to be happy.

When I was growing up, I was raised by a single mom and my father didn't pay his child support for my sister and myself. So whenever I asked for something, all I ever heard was "We can't afford it".

But then when I was feeling down about not being able to buy things I saw when we went shopping, she would come into my room and remind me of what I did have already. Which was a roof over my head, clothes to wear, food to eat (but sometimes there wasn't any food), my health, my legs, and other things.

She would teach me to be greatful for what I did have already. I took her words into my adult life, and I still live by her words to this day.

RIP Mom🌹

So are you implying that somehow people should be grateful for hardship since somebody else may consider that hardship to be luxury? People have different perceptions of different conditions and those perceptions are all respectable in one way or another.

[Veronika_p]

No, you should work towards more and appreciate where you are in life rather than complain all the time

[TonyMetal___1986]

We all complain sometimes, even knowing that we might look as if we are in heaven for others...

[strateguy632]

often when i complain i add 'i have rich people problems'😉

[TonyMetal___1986]

@strateguy632 😂👍🏻

[Dullie]

True We people are often so spoiled by luxury glamour that we forget we living a life that others wish they had. Their are people that have no plate of food daily, no car, no house of their own, no fancy tech in their homes some of these listed things sound like basic must haves however many people don’t have this luxury many are renting homes for 20 to 30 years.

I had no shoes and complained, until I met a man who had no feet.

Well a better way of asking would be, what if 2 people are praying for the exact opposite thing, and each one would cancel the other one out. This happens at every major league sports event.

[strateguy632]

you remind me of a comedian saying. um he said it better but: in war both sides pray to defeat the other. but it seems the one praying: "death to america" god answers 'i need to shut these up'. just how it seems.

[strateguy632]

no way but those who want a job dont want my jerk boss!

[Taranis_Thunor]

I wouldn't respect another man who wanted my life which is why in trying to improve it.

[queenofcardio]

I'm so grateful for everything
