Stop Grumbling!!!

I was really crestfallen the previous week. I cannot help but wallow in frustration. I was in my nadir. I cannot find peace within myself. Instead, I keep on counting the things that I do not have which made the scenario even worse. I hate the feeling of keeping complaining about my life yet still find myself totally helpless about it. Why can’t I just accept the natural order of things? Why do I always have to lead a life that I really want? According to the great Oscar Wilde, “One’s real life is not the life one chooses to lead”. In life, no matter how we aspire of something, it still needs approval, a heavenly one. When we want to achieve something in life, we should earnestly ask for it. He knows more than we do and He is a loving God who wants us to be happy. If something will just cause us trouble, it would be better not to have it at all. But, why do we feel so depressed at times? This is because of our earthly hunger for mundane things which in real sense, cannot and will not ever bring us the truest form of happiness. Even if it does, it would be something ephemeral, a very short-lived one that you wouldn’t even recognize. Life would’ve been easier if we just accept things the way they are. We are being too hard that we push ourselves beyond the limits. Why don’t we try to awaken our senses and marvel at God’s wonders before our eyes? Can you still appreciate the kind of life you are living? If not, it’s high time that you reflect upon it. Some of us don’t really know the true essence of life. Our lives’ worth is gauged by the way we live it. Life is wonderful though it may not be all that ideal. However, if you just try to go beyond your worldly perspective, you get to experience life at a totally different view. Life is a gift, a precious one that only God can give. We should be happy that we were given the chance to live, to experience how it is to live in flesh otherwise we would have been wandering souls just like the others. Everyday is a reason to live. According to my favorite author, Paulo Coelho, “Life is too short or too long to allow ourselves the luxury of living it badly”. Every moment is worth cherishing. How selfish it is for us to keep grumbling about the kind of life that we have! After all, we are just stewards of our lives and we do not own it. By the minute, the Creator wants it back we cannot do anything but to submit to that holy will. Live like it’s your last! This may be hard but let’s at least try to live by this truism. So, better enjoy your life earthling!
