Do you celebrate the things you have already or complain about what u dont have?

My husband and I usually pray and thank the Lord for all the blessings that he has given our family. Sometimes we take advantage of the things we have like shelter, food, clothing, health, money and etc. And not knowing that there are other people who needs this more than us. That is why sometimes we have to stop and take a look at our surroundings. There is more to life of the things we have and of the things yet to come.

Hello,disvachic,I do not like to complain about anything, I do not mind if someone get soemthing but I do not, I am happy for who I am, I have something other people do not have,I do not need to compare with anyone and catch up with them. We should treasure what we have as it is a kind of luck for us to own what we have at this moment. I am satisfied for what I have now, complaining only make you feel bad. Good luck.

good point shaneat! i don't have the habit of complaining about things i don't have. my life had a sudden 360 degrees turn around and i am thankful for everything. i grew up in a very poor family. and now, everything seems to be just brilliant. i am not saying that we are rich. all i am saying is that our lives changed a lot more than we have expected before. i always know that i can never have everything in the world. and so, i just dream and hope and wish and work for what i am wanting to have in my life. and i mean, work hard for them. if i don't get them, i don't complain. instead, i look deeper to see where i had gone wrong. and after knowing, i try to do better the next time. for the wonderful family where i belong, the beautiful friends who are always there for me, for people like you in myLot, and for my wonderful boyfriend who understands every single bit of me, i will forever be thankful and grateful for having them in my life. and well, i am happy for you! you now have a positive outlook in life... that's where it all begins. happy myLotting shaneat!

I do not think I complain a lot about things I do not have. I complain more abour what i do have. Like health problems. Complaining does not do very much good either way. but sometimes life gets very tough and I believe it is sometimes good to curse the curses in ones life. Botteling it all up is not smart either

I celebrate the things I have. I am trying to teach this trait to my husband and daughter. Do not envy what others have,praise God that you have a family who loves you,food in your bellies, and a comfortable place to live. Others in this world do not have even these simple things.

We always want more, but if we view life as being thankful for what we do have, we will always be happier. I'm glad you have learned to see the glass as half full as opposed to half empty. give thanks every day for what you have, and you will never be wanting

I try to think and live positively. I am thankful for what I have. Sure I want more, but mostly I am content with what I have. Life can be too short to think negatively. I do my best not to be a complainer about things and about life in general. Life is precious, we should all try to look at life as a gift.

I celebrate the things I have because I have so much more than most of the people living around me here in Nicaragua. I am grateful for the things I have and when I think of not having something that I would like to have, I remember the people around me that have so little and yet are happy with their lives. I am grateful for a comfortable bed to sleep in and modern conveniences like a washer, refrigerator, and a cookstove with an oven. I didn't realize how much I and most Americans take for granted, things like a comfortable chair and a comfortable bed. I value them very highly now because I know what it is like not to have them.

now girl you know that i am proud of you. that is the way to think. complaining just get's you more things to complain about. being grateful for what you have will get you more thens to be grateful for. you rock girl!! you rock!

No, Complain about it just wouldn't work for me. I would celebrate what I do have, because only then will I be able to obtain what I don't. (Great Question)

I have been blessed with the things I have. I don't complain about what I don't have. When you take a look around and see the people that don't even have the everyday necessity's of life who am I to complain when I have everything I need and more.

I like your Philosophy. It is always better to rejoice about our achievements because they are always there with us, than to lament over our misses. Because come to think of it, You can't really lose what you never had. But you can always work towards having your dreams become a reality.

Well complaining of some thing that we don't have or possess sounds to me childish. No matter what ever some one might feel of, i used to complain about girl friends recently saying that what kind of thing is this dude why do you talk to your girl friends all the time on phones. Are girl friends that important to you? thats what i used to ask all the time. but now i am having a good couple of girls whom i talk to for long hours on phone. I don't stop complaining since only after complaining many things are coming my way.

As the saying goes, Count Your Blessings. This is what I'm doing and I always thank the Lord for what I have now. There is no satisfaction in this world. People always ask for something, I am like this before, but now I realize it is good to be thankful for what I have right now.

For everything I have,I thank my God for having made it possible for me to have them, but those I dont have seriously wish to have, I also pray to my God to make me have them. I dont complain though, I only pray and work hard to get them.

I am grateful for what I have now I used to complain to but I know that I am very lucky to have what I have got and that I managed to hold on to it
