We all have a choice to feel guilt or appreciation.
There is always going to be someone who has less than us, and there is always going to be someone who has more than us.
Do you help a sick person by getting sick?
The same goes for those that have less than us, we can’t help them by feeling guilty for what we have, or by having less.
This seemed so logical once I wrote it down. But there continuously seemed to be some part of my brain that wanted to convince me that I was bad for having all that I have, for all the happiness I have, when there are so many others who have so much less.
Does it make you feel better when you get mad at someone and they just get mad back instead of trying to hear you?
Those that inspire us are the ones that are doing better than us. They give us hope, and a desire to keep moving forward.
How much can we truly contribute to someone when we feel guilty?
It’s a question I find myself asking every day.
When my life is going well, then I want to look back and bring everyone with me. I want everyone to be happy too.
But I can’t, it’s not my job. My job is to continuously appreciate what I have.
We don’t like a sourpuss that has more than us. We want them to tell us how lucky they are and how they got there.
We may feel jealous, but we still want them to appreciate what they have.
What do you feel when your life is going well?
