RANT WARNING

I was at a restaurant this weekend and just listening to some conversations going on around me.

What struck me more than anything else was the sheer amount of complaining and “poor me”, victim mentality that was going on.

We’ve all done it, so I’m not throwing too many rocks, but the truth of the matter than just bitching about a problem isn’t going to do anything to help you.

Life IS going to do stuff TO you.  You can’t choose that.  What you CAN choose is what you DO about those things.

Life is a game of chess.  You can’t control your opponent, but you can set plans in motion that will lead to your victory… as long as you don’t have a crappy victim’s mentality and allow yourself to be pushed into negative situations.
