On Complaining

Recently I've been listening to stuff on how your words affect your life. It was talking about how complaining is an insult to God even if you aren't complaining about him, anything you complain about is his creation. And it got me thinking about a lot of things. The audios went on to say that there's a difference between telling someone your problems and complaining. People can talk about their problems and then try to find a solution But I've realized that most of us now-a-days don't try to look for the solution. We enjoy the idea of people feeling sorry for us so when we talk about our problem we make it a bigger deal then it really is. And when I thought of that I realized that's what I've been doing for a while. I have a really good situation and actually I have my dream job but I still complain a lot. Things go so well for me, yes maybe I don't have the ideal friend situation, but maybe if I spent less time complaining and I got off my ass and did something about it I wouldn't have this problem. I am really going to make an effort to stop complaining and be happy. I can be happy regardless of the situation I am in. There are times I get lonely and that's the hardest part I guess, but I have friends online who I enjoy chatting/skyping with and I'm really lucky to have them. And I should focus on that until something better comes along. Also I can go out there and meet people. I have to get rid of my shyness at some point, it's never gonna leave on its own. My main problem is that I forget, when I start complaining I don't think about how I decided that I would stop, then when I remember later I feel bad. I need to find some way that this can stick into my head until it's a habit. It takes about 6 weeks to form a habit, so let's see how I'm doing in 6 weeks?
I'll get back to this later. For now I'm gonna leave it at this. Bye and goodnight!

September Update

Here's a little update on what's been going on. I love my job, the kids are so cute, and at times they drive me insane, but at least it makes my days eventful. I'm getting used to my living situation, it's still hard, but I'm doing ok and that's what I'm focusing on right now. I actually feel like all the worries I had with not being good enough to teach the kids were so useless, as it's really easy. Of course I still have a lot to learn, and have many points I can improve on, but I'm doing better then I thought I would.

Last weekend I got to see some friends I haven't seen in 5 years, I live really close to them now so I decided to get the connection back, and we had a pretty good time hanging out. So now I have 2 friends here, which is an improvement from the last city I was in because except for family I didn't know anyone there. 

Oh I moved rooms in my house, I have a nice double bed and a big room all to myself, which is really awesome.

So I caught a cold from the kids I work with. I've had a sore throat all day, and still do now, it's annoying the hell out of me. I really hope it gets healed and doesn't turn into some full fledged cold. 

I also cracked my tooth while I was in Switzerland and have been trying to get to the dentist to fix it since then, it doesn't hurt, but food always gets stuck in it but since I've moved to a new city I haven't found any good place and I am still looking as I would really like to get there already. But I guess I just need patience and to keep looking. 

Anyway I'll be going now, this was just a little update on my latest happenings. Bye
