So annoying...but not really!

I get annoyed listening to people complain about what they do and do not have. I know someone who from my view point has very good life full of many material possessions. Her husband has always had a really good job, so she has the luxury of not having to work. They live in a beautiful home. They have recreational vehicles. To hear this person talk about her life, she is not happy with anything that she has been blessed with. She wants a new house because she is not happy with the one she has...she is not happy with their RV...she is not happy with her car. Blah..Blah..Blah...you get the point...always complaining about her life. Why is no one satisfied with what they have? Why do people want more and more and bigger and better and a different color and a different size and a different brand. The list is endless of things people can complain about. Whew, I get exhausted just thinking about all the different ways people complain!

I am completely satisfied with everything that I have. I do not want bigger and better. My greatest desire is for a life with very few problems. Guess what...life is now and will always be full of problems. It’s how we react to our daily problems that’s important. I hope I have learned to react to life’s problems with calmness, grace and dignity.

The other thing that cracks me up more than it annoys me is the urge to buy what everyone else is buying. For example, why would someone want to buy a designer purse just like everyone else is buying? It does not take much of a brain to buy the same thing that everyone else is carrying. Where is the creativity in that? I would rather have something unique and different than everyone else. Why go with the herd, when you can be your own person? I want people to notice that what I have is different than what the masses are buying. That’s why I like to make my own jewelry and other accessories. I like to be creative.

Creativity - is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Also another definition is: the quality or ability to create or invent something; originality.

Ha...I guess you do not have to use any kind of mental process to follow the herd!

Have a blessed day!
