FEELING BLUE…
by Quoc on Apr.30, 2009, under Personal
So… I am feeling blue; frustrated; deflated and stuck… This is only on a few things… Thankfully, there are a few things I am grateful for that are not currently affecting my serenity and gratitude… Before I get into writing out my gratitude list, I need to vent…
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WHINEY, IMMATURE AND PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE VICTIMS AND FULL OF ENTITLEMENT!
I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE DECISIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE TO ACCOMMODATE FOR OTHERS (WHO ARE NOT DOING THE WORK) AND AS A RESULT ADVERSELY AFFECT THOSE WHO ARE WORKING HARD AND HELPING… It’s as if I am being punished despite working hard!
I AM FRUSTRATED FROM GETTING DECLINED JOB OFFERS BECAUSE I AM “OVERQUALIFIED” OR EXPERIENCED, BUT DON’T HAVE A “MASTERS” DEGREE!
I AM BUMMED OUT THAT IT WILL TAKE ME OVER 7 MONTHS TO PAY OFF A $3,000 DEBT FROM NECESSARY CAR REPAIRS AND DOESN’T ALLOW FOR ME TO EVEN ENJOY SOME FUN LITTLE EXCURSIONS DURING TIME OFF FROM THE HARD WORK I DO!!!
INSTEAD,
I get to choose to tell my storm, how big my Higher Power is by sharing gratitude; and not telling my God how big my storm is…
I am grateful for the fact that I am an effective trainer who knows how to train trainers and participants alike and maintain integrity, professionalism!!!
I am grateful that I get paid to do a job that I really enjoy doing!
I am grateful for my continuous health despite having a more immune compromised body!
I am grateful to have some relief and serenity and solutions (tools) to cope with the challenges that each day presents.
I am grateful to have a car that runs nicely without any concern of it breaking down in any way! Goodness knows I paid enough in repairs!
I am grateful I have a place that I get to call home and am self supporting!!!
I am grateful for having enough money to pay for food and some amenities that make life a little more comfortable for me!
I am grateful for the friendship and support that surrounds me on a daily basis!
I am grateful to have an opportunity to be of service and help others and happily do so for fun and for free.
I am grateful to remember that my feelings indeed have a beginning, middle and end… That what I am going through now will indeed pass as well… I need only face these feelings with courage!
I am mindful that the fundamental solution to my primary problem of alcoholism is to trust God, clean house, and be of service to others… Where are my efforts today in seeking others out and being of service to them to get out of myself centeredness and selfishness?
Now, sleep!
