Just Stop It!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people whine, cry and complain all the time about something, but they aren't willing to do anything about it. "My job sucks, my boss is an ass and I barely make enough money to pay the rent." Find a new job. "I'm never going to meet Mr/Mrs Right. I'm so lonely." Put yourself out there. Embrace the friendships that you have. "I'm so *munch crunch* fat! I'm never *guzzel* going to be thin and beautiful." Get up off the couch, and put away the chips and pop! Ok so "doing something about it" is going to be a lot easier said than done, I know that. But if something is worth all the time you take to cry and complain about it, don't you think it's WORTH IT to look at your options and use your energy in more productive ways? If you're in a shitty (please excuse any foul language) job, the chances of that job all of a sudden getting awesome are slim to none. If you are sitting at home, perusing online dating profiles, but not actually making contact with people; you are not going to find someone to share your life with. If you don't eat well and exercise, how can you expect to shrink away the years of abuse you've done to your body?
So many people are looking for that quick fix. That pill or drink to make them skinny. That lover to walk in the door and sweep them off their feet. That random man on the street to actually be the owner of a company who thinks they'd be perfect for a six figure income only working 3 days a week. NOT.GOING.TO.HAPPEN. You have to put in your time. You have to do the work. You have to make the decision to grab life by the balls and get what you want out of it. There is nothing magical about having the life you want. There is no secret formula. There is no guarantee. Don't settle. Be confident (because whether you know it or not, you're pretty darn awesome). Have fun. Laugh as much as possible. Hug those who are close to you. Everything takes work. Some days that work seems so daunting and scary. But if you are willing to do the work, you will see results - in EVERYTHING you do.
