No Complaints!

Today's 'No Complaints' got me thinking. As it is, I came to the day around a week ago and just listened to the audio the first day. i was sleepy, groggy and trying to get the 'boat' of my life mocing smoothly. But very starngely, that simple audio made a big impact on my attitude the following week.

'No matter what you are complaining about, every single complaint you have, in anything you ever complain about, is all the same. You are only complaining about one thing. Do you know what that one thing is? Well, the only thing you've ever complained about is yourself.'(Coach Steele) 

I have a friend who is forever complaining about his romantic relationships. He's my best friend and a dear, but it truly is the biggest headache to listen to his monologue, which do not seem to change over time at all.

 This week I realized that nothing is going to change, however much I talk or listen, nothing is going to change unless he changes himself. It is not his girlfriend and their shaky relationship he's complaining about, but rather his inability to make a right choice, his inability of commitment, and moreover his inability to actually know what he wants.

Somehow, looking at another person's life can change the attitude you have for your own life. I've begun to realize that however much I complain on ill circumstances, it's my inability to adjust. Plus complaining on what is changeable, but I never accept as changeable.

Coach Steele's words on the first day of Tools are the most memorable for me.

'If you do what you've always done. You get what you have always got. Do you really want the things you say you want? Because if you do, you should be willing to change the things you've always done...'

I don't find the journey easy. True, I'm feeling more motivated than before. The no-excuses and no-complaints are working in my head. At times when I'm down, I arouse myself thinking over those. At times it works, at times not.

But what i am happy about is that my thought pattern is changing somehow. I SO do WANT to change this life, and slowly slowly realizing that it is all about knowing what you really want and having a clear plan for it.:D
