Gripe, gripe, gripe. It seems that so many people have abandoned EO and the ones that remain are on a ***** fest.
Now, I could sit here a gripe and complain, but that would get me 1000 miles from nowhere. A bad attitude will take over your whole being and while you may not notice it, everyone you encounter will notice it. It has a tendancy to compound itself. Eventually, it will take over your whole being. It will cause you to fail at your goals.
And, those that are griping and complaining also are having a tendancy to blame everyone else for their problems. Take what you have to work with and make the best of it. Don't be powerless to change things, take responsibility, and take control of your destiny.
Always remember, "A bad attitude is like a cold - keep it to yourself because nobody else wants it!"
I know things are rough out here right now. But, this too will pass.
I too have told troubling stories on here, but my hope was that it could bring a smile to somebody's face and make them laugh at the circumstances and shine a light on their own circumstances. And, even the funny stories have been misinterpreted as negative . . . not by the author, but by the reader.
The best way to get out of this and maintain a positive attitude even in bad times is to just start out by faking it. Force yourself to smile, tell a joke, say "hello, good morning" to a complete stranger - and eventually you will mean it. Because, just like a bad attitude will take over your whole being - So will a good attitude. And, you need a good attitude to succeed in a bad time.
