For your consideration…
Exactly! Today’s message is about complaining. As I searched for images to compliment the message I found this one. It is absolutely perfect.
Turn on the news. Listen to the radio. Read the internet. Complaining is a polite word for all that “protesting.” People complain adamantly. They are vocal on their unhappiness and disconnect.
We have had messages about getting to the root…the truth of everything. Remember, even if we don’t like what that is, we recognize it because it is rooted in love. How much of what you see or hear in the media feels like it has even a grain of love?And it isn’t just in the media. It is in our work and personal lives as well.
Imagine if a bubble appeared over the head of a person complaining that gave the stats on what they really knew, how much was original thought, how much was group think, how much was a repeat of what someone else told them, and the percentage of what was rooted in truth and love.
Image if before you complained you had to do your own fact checking. And not just the computer fact check but really digging to down to the root. How many complainers would we see then? What if before you complained you had to have a proposed solution? It doesn’t have to be right but it has to be thought out a ready to be proposed.
If we are not ready to do that, we aren’t ready to be listened too. Nor should we listen to others who have not done the work.
We should not be offended if we are not taken seriously when we are just whining and letting off steam.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
