Satisfaction

Are u satisfied with the state of your life today? How is your relationship with your family, friends and colleagues? Are you happy with your job (for those who have one)? Are you happy with your career choices or did you make a mistake with your choice? Do you love your job or do you just go there for survival? Are you emotionally abused and don’t know how to get out of it? Do you have a friend to share your hurts and pains with? Are you going through stress it's affecting your health? 

Some lack true friends, they have friends that are only available to hang out especially after payday and when you need them for assistance or a shoulder to cry on.; they are nowhere to be found. Some even go to the extent of taking a loan for a friend, but the shock comes when they are not willing to pay back. 'Bad debt’.

Do you wonder why some people are less qualified for a position yet they are your boss? Or sometimes you feel after getting all those degrees you still become broke. Or you hate your job, what have you done to make your products or services better? Or do you feel you deserve better treatment in whatever situation you find yourself?

If your relationship is the issue, sit your partner down and discuss, looking for a better evil or distraction won't help. Are you living your life to please others? Dressing to please those who don't like you with the money you worked hard for. Ask others who toiled that path where they ended.

I am here to make you get real with your situation. I do not have solutions to all your troubles and worries. I can't promise you things will get better. But I know a shift for the better can happen. I know you deserve to be treated better and with dignity. You can't keep complaining about the same people, school, job, society, economy, pandemic and expect a change to happen. Who knows the problem better? You, who is experiencing the pain, hurt and sadness? You. Who is hungry? You. Who feels cheated? You.

There will always be discontentment, dissatisfaction, sadness regret and sorrow. But this hasn't made our situation better. The government can't help you, there is a recession everywhere, pandemics, hunger, loss of loved ones and jobs. These feelings are deep and unpleasant. You can't keep complaining about the situation and do nothing.

Or at work, you criticize and analyse, yet you don't make any suggestions. Your boss doesn't read minds, that is why there are suggestion boxes or other channels to express thoughts for improvement and corrective actions.

                                       

We all must wake up, stand up, jump up and create the change you want. Make room for adjustment. leave that comfort-zone and step out to the new horizon. Put your creative mind to work. Irrespective of your colour, race, where you chose to live, your nationality or language. No more complains or blaming the system, the government, the organization, or the leaders. Who is the system and who makes the system? I believe they are human beings.

Start from where you are, start from your home, your children teach them to be respectful, courteous, responsible citizens. Don't imbibe hatred in them, treat your neighbours nicely your children are watching you. Don’t use vulgar language around them. Build the right character in them. Be nice to your colleagues, just a 'Hi' with a smile goes a long way. Don't be afraid to use nice words, it just might give someone with low self-worth a reason to realise how welcome he or she is. Let's bring light to our world again. 

Everyone has their ‘what if’, ‘if only’, deepest regrets, pains and weaknesses. Start today and change your mindset, think positive, think greatness, think of good things, be proactive, live a quality life and stay out of debts. If we all can make little positive turns without selfishness and think of the other persons comfort we will have a better world to live in. Don't make the same mistake twice.  Just my little thoughts.
