What it comes down to is whether I want to deal with someone who is never going to be happy and wants to yank the rug out from under every good thing that happens, no matter how small. He can’t be happy. Look, by the time people “make it”, it’s because they’ve been practicing positive and effective habits over a long period of time– regardless of whether those habits made sense to anyone else. They kept at those habits until they paid off. He has this idea that these same people come into their success or millions of dollars overnight. It’s also the reason why he wants to “win the lottery” instead of applying himself. The thought of starting at the bottom or something having a beginning isn’t good enough for him. He’s 38 year old and expects life to be like TV, where everything is solved in 30 minutes or less and everyone lives perfectly and happily ever after. He’s never dedicated or committed himself to anything– well, except getting his own jollies. Me, I don’t mind working. I don’t mind being thankful, I don’t mind the little victories that I KNOW are stepping stones to the top. Unlike him, I don’t need to point out “what’s not there” on a constant basis. Being with him is like being with a spoiled little girl who just doesn’t get how to to make things happen for herself and who just expects someone will deliver exactly what he/she wants on a golden cart (and then throws a temper tantrum when they don’t). I can’t live like that– and I’m not going to. I’m a good girl, a smart girl and a wise person who knows to look for the lesson to empower myself in EVERY situation, no matter WHAT it looks like. I want– and fully intend– to be happy. Life takes effort but it’s not just about ACTION– you have to have a good mind, too, because everything– and I mean EVERYTHING– begins with a thought. EVERYTHING. You want to think crappy, be my guest. I won’t stop you. But stop trying to talk me out of the good in life just because you’re life doesn’t match what’s on the TV. Grow up! We’re all here to put our personal gifts and talents to use! Not sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall in our laps so we can all be Kim Kardashians. GROW UP.
