Okay kids, it is time to grow up and understand that your problems are not special. Your perceived strife, injustice, and melodrama do not define you.. and here is the kicker: nobody fucking cares about your whiny bullshit. Sounds harsh eh. Yet I can guarantee it is 100% truth.
Your problems are not special. Please stop acting like they are.
I have been exposed to people in my career, and life, some even within my family that have a “condition”, or current predicament, or health problem, or love crisis, or shitty job, or fill in the _______. Regardless of what “it” is, for them it is a means to define themselves, or said another way, something that defines them. Guess what? Everyone has problems, everyone has a bad day, everyone feels unappreciated, everyone feels however you are feeling, and everyone has felt a whole lot worse. There are people in the world (Africa, Iraq, Alabama) that have “it” a whole lot worse than your pansy ass and manage to make a productive contribution to the global medium.
Your problems do not define you. Your clinical diagnosis does not define you, it does not make you special.Your heartache does not make you unique, your inability to drag your slackin ass out of bed in the morning does not in any way shape or form make you special or immune from the expectations the world and society have placed on you. The sooner you learn this the better of you will be.
Truths:
- Your problems are not special
- You are not special for having these problems
- And nobody cares about your problems.. likely because they are wrapped up in their own delusion that you care about their problems.
- The world does not reward mediocrity
I do not give a shit about your problems. And the world is reinforcing my belief everyday that it does not give a damn about mine. Sometimes I forget, and hold my problems up to the world as an excuse for my own inaction… “I didn’t do this because of that” or, “if you only knew what it was like”… do you care? Does the bank care? Do my employees care? nope. Then why should I? I thank God everyday (that I remember) that my problems are not special. Realizing and embracing that FACT that my problems are not special, that everyone has problems, and that my problems are really challenges and an opportunity for me to stretch and grow is the best outcome for everyone, especially me.
When faced with a challenge I ask the “How” and “What” questions instead of the “Why’s”
- How can I get out of this?
- How can I feel better?
- What can I do right now to improve this situation?
- What can I learn from this?
Next time you have a case of the “Monday’s”: Please I beg of you: Slam your head into the wall as hard you can, as many times it takes until you understand that you are a being freakin’ pussy. Monday is an opportunity to make this week better than the last. Next time your girl/boy friend leaves you: realize it is a true gift to find someone who will appreciate you for your whiny moronic self. I dont mean to sound so heartless, but I have zero sympathy (feel what you are feeling and agree with your fucked mindset) for you and your problems. I can empathize (put myself in your shoes and get an idea of the challenge you face) with your situation, but if you are looking for pity, or a feeling of self importance because you are going through somthing… just leave. Do not hold up your problem to me as an excuse for your lameness. Your problems are the world telling you it is time for you to grow past your current position.
The universe is not handing you a dead end, the universe is handing you an opportunity to step up and set an example of strength and faith. Every single set back, dead end, pink slip, and health challenge is a time for you to look inside yourself and find the power that was granted to you at conception.The truth as I know it.
Every problem is a God given opportunity to grow beyond yourself.
In China, the word for disaster has the character for “opportunity” inside of it. That little bit helps me remember that ALL CHALLENGES are a chance to move forward and make my personal “it” better.
He’s right and all, but sometimes it’s not so bad to listen to someone, even when you feeling bored or totally do not care, you will do it for the other! And even if that other is not a friend or a complete stranger, if they are they probably have no one else to talk too. And when they talk to you about it remember that you might be the only one, the only one listening and the only one that could make that person feel heared and may be even the only one who can prevent a real down person from killing himself. You could be honest and tell that person that people don’t give a fuck, but at least you took the time in your egoistic life to listen to another!!! This world especially needs no more hard people who don’t give a fuck, it needs people who DO give a fuck.
