What are you complaining about?

Price of Gas driving you nuts?

Can't believe all the "crazy" drivers out there!

"If only he (or she) would do (x,y or z) then I would feel better." (This statement is usually followed by a deep sigh)

Going through life complaining about this thing or that thing?

When you express or verbalize a thought, you put it to work in your world. No one wants to be "nuts" or "crazy" or angry or a victim or unhappy all the time. And yet, to listen to what is being expressed how could one tell?

Knowing that to be true, how do we go about making a change?

Here are three steps:

1. Identify
Generally speaking, those things about which you complain are the very things which you are unwilling to change. And as a rule those complaints are based upon your current belief system.

All of our Beliefs are of two types. There are empowering beliefs and limiting beliefs. The empowering beliefs help us to shape a better life for ourselves and others around us. The limiting beliefs allow us to continue to express certain disadvantageous situations.

What are your beliefs and how did you get them?

Beliefs, both empowering and limiting, are collected all through our life by our experiences. From childhood we are being conditioned by the messages we receive and the meaning of the messages we give ourselves. Those messages that keep coming back to us, our subconscious will take on as solid truths. Those "truths" become our belief's. And our language and behavior is
influenced by our beliefs.

2. Decide
Having identified the belief that is in question ask yourself, is this belief empowering me or limiting me? Another way to ask the question is, does this belief still serve me? If you determine that the belief is limiting or no longer serves you, ask yourself, am I willing to change?

Should you decide that you are unwilling to change, so be it. However, be aware that you will continue to have this conversation with yourself until you are ready to change.

3. Take Action
Stop complaining. And, (you knew there would be more, yes?) look for your desired outcome. What do you see as the highest and best good for you and all concerned in this circumstance?
Focus on that thought and from that focus will come the actions you will take to reach the desired good.

Let's take the "gas is to high" case and look at it. When I was growing up a gallon of gas was "One Gallon." Today a gallon of gas is still... "One Gallon" Gee, no change. So what am I complaining about? My belief that "they" are charging too much? Or and underlying belief of lack? Not enoughness?

Neither of those statements serve me. So, I take action. First by not complaining about the price, second by not condemning or judging those in the business and third by seeking ways to
express opulent abundance in my life.

And here's the good news, I always have what I need. I believe, express and manifest what my elder brother and way-shower taught two thousand years ago, "Give us this day our daily bread."

And so it IS,
In His service,
