I have complained enough about life. I guess I'm not unlike others when I do so, and many might find my complaints well justified. I feel disappointed when I lose a customer. I feel frustrated when my development team takes forever to complete a critical task. I worry about managing cashflow. I get mighty pissed when my laptop or phone stops working. I get frustrated when I see general deterioration in the society around - commercialization of education & healthcare, loss of civic sense, what not!
Yet lately I feel I'm being quite stupid when I complain or feel disappointed. I feel I am the last person on earth who has the right to complain. Cuz I have everything I need to be happy.
I have a wonderful family, which loves me infinitely. All my loved ones have been gifted with the best of health and abilities. I myself have been given a fit mind and body; I can't even imagine the plight of people who cannot take that for granted. I have been given sufficient wealth, education, social respect, and guidance to use as a platform for my career, for my company. At Peach, I have a team full of really smart people, who work like crazy for me. I've even been given some decent successes, so that I can feel proud and confident of my own self. All I need to do now is make efforts. And I should do that with confidence, because time and again, I've been shown that making efforts is sufficient for success.
I have thus resolved to be happy. Every time I feel sad or disappointed, I will think of my countless gifts, including my own abilities. And I will put in sincere efforts to use all my energy in creative ways, brightening the world around me. I have the power to bring smiles on the faces of my loved ones, of the people who work with me, of even strangers. I have the ability to apply my professional knowledge to make products that can touch countless lives positively. I have all it takes to set good examples, through myself and my creations, and even that may suffice to begin a meaningful change. Why waste a minute being sad, when life's so good? :)
