Just Five Minutes of This Weather
I am not here to comfort you today.
I'm here to ask some tough questions. And you need to answer them to yourself. Don't need to involve anybody else in your business. Just get your own head straight. Here we go:
1.) Are you happy with your body?
2.) Are you happy with your mind? How about your education level? Your job? The money you make? Your personal relationships? Do you like your community?
Why am I asking you to ask yourself?
Because these questions all have answers -- and you can change all those answers, if you want to.
But nothing will improve without resolve.
So if you answered "no" to any of the above questions – if you are unhappy with any category – what are you doing to improve?
Are you going to improve? Or have you just surrendered to dissatisfaction and resigned yourself to a lifetime of bitching?
As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to change.
It's never too late to make your life better.
If you can, do something today to make your life what you want it to be. Don't just exist. Don't just breathe. Don't just take up space on the planet.
Live.
"And those dead folks would give anything, anything at all for just five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of that plowing that person was grumbling about. So you watch yourself about complaining, Sister. What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.” — Maya Angelou, "Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now"
