Indeed, life is a blessing and a journey to take.
In my journey of life, I been through lots of experiences, takes challenges, struggles and achieve success too. As I continue in my journey of life, I have learn a lot things about life and myself.
When we are young, we dont mind things around us. We just enjoy what we have and what we want. There are times that we are not satisfy on things around us and things that we have so always longing for more.
So as I continue to explore this journey of my life, I have learn to appreciate and value things more instead of complaining and longing for more satisfaction. Getting and learning to mature enough to value, considerate and understand life and things around me.
So better to learn to appreciate instead of complaining most of the time.
Everything we have, no matter what it is and what they are, is a blessing that we have to thank for.
God bless and have a great day ahead.

Wow good attitude. Yes I agree with you that life is a journey and just like every journey; there are straight, curves, smooth surface, rough terrains, or just anything. That is just life. If you complain and complain instead of appreciating, you don't only lose your joy but sometimes the ability to enjoy; even if everything is well.
I probably think that it will always boils down to your heart condition. What you really are in the inside will just come out of your mouth. If your nasty in the inside then your a nasty complainer; but if you are joyful in the inside then joy and appreciation is just a second nature to you.
God bless

Yes you are right.You always need to be an optimist in life.Being an optimist gives you renewed hope in every walk of life.It helps us to lead life in a better way compared to living life as a pessimist who always complaints everyday.Life is like an ocean wave which goes up and down daily.We need to take life in its own stride.God bless you

The time when you stop complain, there will be way to solve the problem. It's really waste your time being just complain. Consentrating on how to solve the problem , it's the key point.

Last time I used to take things for granted. Always comparing with what others
have. When I nearly lost my life, I learned to appreciate life more. Take things
easy, count my blessings .... Appreciate the people around us and what we have.
When we think positively, appreciate even a small gifts ... then I realised more
and bigger things are blessed in m life. I thank God for all the wonderful blessings!

Yeah counting our blessings is important.
There is no wrong in wanting or desiring for something as long as it will not cause any bad in the end, whether to ourselves or to other people.Comparison and envy will always be around but we should know the limits and we should not go to the point that it might hurt other.Be sensitive enough on how other would feel not only what we feel.

I am trying to do this, but many days my life feels like a big struggle. It's hard to appreciate anything when you're not getting enough sleep and you're broke.
You are right though that life is still something to enjoy and appreciate. I'll try to think like this.

Count our blessings others may say it. I believei n that too. even how simple it is. That's the most important thing in life. To be contented on things. To perceive materail things that they will pass eventually. There's nothing wrong in aspiring for something great though but I just want to be practical. Also, I aspire for good life though, but I will always make my feet on the ground. Thanks1 person likes this

Humility is important for us not to step on other people.
Living life peaceful is better than life that full of envies and desires.

yes true as the life show up with different colors every time it much needed to take everything in a positive manner. Life is a lesson that tells us how to adapt, how to feel things, how to manage, how to perform, and most importantly how to live. The life is journey that sometimes seem straight and sometime it looks turning but one who take all as challenge goes far away to his/her until he/ she reach eternal goal. Positivism classical by excerpt is what to be adopted and exercised by one. It need real guts to take everything in a positive manner. Live life more positively the hurdles will be surpassed with no much efforts.

Life is indeed is journey that full of mysteries and surprises that we have to take.
We always have to be ready to face it and appreciate what it will offer to us.

Learning to appreciate can make our lives better. it lessens the burden, the self-pitying, the bitterness. Instead we feel we're blessed most of the times, if there are problems plaguing us, as long as we know how to look at the bright side of life, we will never feel too down. Oprah Winfrey suggested that we keep a gratitude journal, I've done that and even tweet gratitude tweets daily, it certainly helps me grow as a person and keep a positive view in life.

Oh yes, appreciation could somehow lighten the burden, lessen the pain and look forward for brighter tomorrow.We should not let our bad past overcome what the tomorrow could offer to us.Let past be our teacher to be better in the future.

This is something we have to learn. Its our attitude to crib on the various aspects of the society.But we never take time in appreciating people who are involved in good deeds, how small it may be.

Yeah it is our attitude to appreciate things and people around us.
Sometimes if other people help us, there are still some complains like lots of what ifs.
Just be thankful and cherish things what we have.

This will only show that you have matured. From the way you handle things and address the problem, there is surely an understanding of what we should do with life. With this in mind, I am sure that you will reach your dreams and goals as well as do more greater things in life. Most of those who have done nothing are usually those who complained more. Good luck with your life and continue with what you have started... I am sure, more blessing will come your way.

Why we can be in depression or feel unhappy sometime.Ihis is because we have lots of desire in their mind ,but it isn`t real in real world.It is commonly known that there aren`t everything just like your image.It maybe more or less diffrent from you.At the same time ,you also can`t change this situation by you own.In this case, we should learn to appreciate it if you want to make youself happy.In a word ,if you can`t change it ,just appreciate it.

When God said we have to be contented with what we eat and have, it points out the way to appreciate life. It is very hard to appreciate life and ourselves if we keep on envying others as to what they have. Our minds will be restless as to how to become like others lifestyles.

Indeed, being content is really to achieve in this world that we have but at least learn to appreciate things that we have is better that envying what other people have that could lead to sin.
Just enjoy life and what we have.

I agree! Complaining most of the time ruins your day and you will never learn if you always complain. We should have knowledge about the things that happen in our lives.

Your right, complaining could ruin our day and life.We just see the positive side of it and learnings that we could get on it instead of prolonging the complain.

The philosophy of life you shared is positive and honest.There is always something wrong which you complain mostly in your critical time.However,you should appreciate it when so many people are worse off,living in affliction and pain. Lying on bed and retelling our painful expressions ,we are lucky enough.Appreciation,which all of us need badly in this naughty society is the key to satisfaction and scense of belonging.Maybe we also need some confidence because of which you can't be bothered to chieve your goals.
God bless.

Sometimes we keep on complaining on things because it was just a small portion yet some people have nothing and struggling to have even the small portion that we are complaining.
We just have to think that we are still lucky to have even the smallest portion, so better appreciate and be thankful instead of complaining.

I would agree with you. Its better to find positive thing out of the negative ones. Better to appreciate what we have now and strive to be better in the future. Failures can be taken as lessons of life to make us better. Appreciating even the smallest aspects of our life is a good way of showing positive outlook in life.

Hi ardoy! This is indeed the right thing that we should do. Well, from the very time that we wake up in the morning, this is already a blessing of new life. Well, personally, I would say that I have been through a lot already. I came from a very poor family and I can clearly remember how life was hard for us during those time. But I tried everything that I could in order to finish my studies. Now I can say that although I am not yet on the top of my career, I can say that I am already on my way to it. Everything that I have now is a blessing from God.

Yes each day that we wake up is a blessing that we have thank for and treasured.
But sometimes we used to complain even in little things like why is my bread has no fillings yet some people are struggling just to get a bread.
We really have to value and learn to value the things that we have even the leat and smallest one.

One day I started to complain ,that turned out to be a list of complaints,
When I woke up I complained about the bed,
When I had tea,I complained about it,being tepid
When I had break fast,I complained about it taste and texture,
When I drove the car,I complained about traffic,
When I came to office I complained about my client being insensitive,
When I had my lunch I complained about the bland taste of the dishes,
When I got home,I complained about my work in general,
At night sleep complained against me and left me,
To find somebody better than me.

Oh yes we can avoid to complain cause we are not perfect but prolonging the complain and indulging ourselves on it won't give any good to us instead will urge of having no contentment in life.
Learning to appreciate and be thankful on what we have could be no harm.
@skyandgrassplot (1497)

Yes there is nothing is perfect in our world,so we really need to learn to appreciate the things around us,just as for a glass of water,we should think that it is half full rather than half empty.
To appreciate is a symbol of grow up,and I am on the way.

Yes there are times that we overlook the value of what we have cause we are thinking that it is not enough, but come to think and try to appreciate it no matter how small it is cause to some people out there has nothing to have even a single one.

What you've shared is worth discussing for.I admit that complains prevail than appreciation in my life.But one time i realize that we only have one life.We must live life to the fullest. We should learn how to dance and sway even if the music is bad.
