The following is what people who are honest with themselves will admit and then go on to change
Life is boring to a boring person
Life is dull to a dull person
Life is average to an average person
Think about that the next time you have to "time to kill" and make the most of your gift of time and give your time life
Live the Proactive Life

Let this post start a meaningful change in your life ..now
Everyone wants to
do more
feel more
achieve more
become more
experience more
BUT many do not believe more
In other words they do not believe they can and or do not believe it is possible and so
they medicate themselves to settle for less with drugs ,alcohol and other destructive habits
convince themselves that who they are now is all they ever will be and what they have now is all they will ever have
they lose themselves in distraction etc etc

It boils down to this
If you are truly grateful for your life you will never settle for the life you have right now
You will through the power of gratitude find some joy and appreciation in it but never be satisfied with stagnation for stagnation is a myth as when you do not go forward you will inevitably go backward and that same gratitude if you allow it into your heart will energize you to put all you can into the life you have because it has been upgraded to Wow when you finally get that things can change within the blink of an eye and being that nothing is ever a given but always a gift with each new day you dive in with joy knowing that you have another opportunity to be amazed by how much more there is to you.

The greatest tribute you can make to those who no longer have life is to make the most of yours

The Yetser Hara said to me give up it's easier
But I just started to thank Hashem for the smallest and simplest of things until the Yetser Hara gave up
He will be back but now I have gratitude for my shield

With gratitude you can sublimate your complaints into prayers without losing sight of the light.
