Life sux!
Well, my sweet readers, I got a new long story for ya'll! Waaait, don't click away, i'll keep it interesting! :p
Well, it's more like - an observation from my life, that I started noticing more and more these days. O_O
Ok, here we go!
I grew up in a homeless family and from the very beginning, till the time I graduated University (and left the country), we never had home.
So that makes it almost 25 years of living in such conditions.
Now here's a question:
If you got scammed and lost everything you own (like my parents, who got scammed by my uncle), as a result you become homeless.
How long would it take for you to get back up?
(despite of constant challenges and difficulties).
The reason I'm asking this, is to confirm that you guys are on a totally different level (mentally).
LIFE IS HARD!
Most of people in my life (mainly my parents), were always complaining how life's hard and how hard work isn't enough, because things will always mess up. For example, working on 2-3 jobs, two shifts, 7 days a week didn't fix anything for my family.
My parents, friends, co-workers, neighbors, everyone told me how money is evil and that it's never enough of it, how life is hell and it's a never-ending battle of survival.
After I left the country for good, I came across more people with the same mentality - life is hard.
I've changed two countries and wherever I went, people would tell me that having own biz is delusional, I should work on (minimal) 2 REGULAR jobs and struggle to pay my basic needs. And so I did...I took on 3 jobs, 7 days a week, and for the last 3 years I had no vacations. As I was told by those people - I, indeed, could barely pay my rent, insurance, food.
5 years later (year 2017) - I still live in an empty apartment with no furniture, no kitchen, no bathroom. I am exhausted from my jobs and stressed beyond my limits. Just like my parents back then...
So what is going on? >.<
A few months ago, I've met a successful lady - by successful I mean, she has a stable home, great relationships, she helps people on a daily basis, and she has more than enough on her bank account to not worry about basic needs.
As we spoke and I've opened up to her, she shared with me some wisdoms that she had learned over the years - and surprise surprise, she, also, used to be homeless (at some point in her life).
Some people believe it, some don't, but there is such thing in this world as Energy and Law of Attraction. It just happens. That's why with some people you can connect better than with the others, because you feel their energy.
Since I was raised in the environment of complainers, who overworked themselves and still struggled with basic living, I automatically absorbed their energy and kept carrying it with me, even after becoming an adult and changing countries.
Is life really that hard?
I kept attracting lazy people into my life, who did NOTHING to fix their situation. I kept attracting complainers and losers.
And so I realized, that my parents held on to crappy jobs, where they were treated like slaves, instead of searching for ONE great job. They did not study or put any effort to qualify for better jobs, they did not have a plan B to make money on the side - to work smarter than harder.
They chose to complain about how life's hard, instead of making it easy, because the truth is, they had the power to change it.
Shortly after, I quit my 3 jobs, and found ONE awesome job, even if it took me time to study and master my skills, it was worth it. As a result - one job is now enough to pay my basic needs. As a plan B, I found WA and all of you guys!
I shifted my mentality and stopped complaining about life, instead I talk about small successes - which now attracts friggin' millionaires into my life! I never spoken to a wealthy person before, and now I chat with them in a relaxed and friendly manner.
Don't get me wrong, they are not sponsoring me or anything, and I would never dare to ask for anything from them. I love to learn from them - because they are in a totally different world! They live in the world of taking action and making things work (even if it seems impossible).
I'll keep doing my best and I'd love to update you guys when I get my first home!
You make your life the way you want it to be - you're the hero of your story!
YOU have the power to make your life a paradise or hell!
My point is, I want to encourage you to start with YOURSELF in terms of mentality and outlook on life. If there's an issue going on for longer than 1 year, ACTION must be taken to deal with it.
Because complaining - doesn't work. Trust me, I tried!
Surround yourself with people, who bring out the best in you and you'll be surprised how fun life becomes after that.
After overcoming the hardships, you'll only end up being wiser, happier (cuz you wont take good things for granted), and you'll be able to say these three magical words...
...LIFE IS GOOD!
P.S. This meme may sound a tiny bit harsh but It's true. Hahahaha~

Angie,
You're already succeeded. Do you know why? You've learned a few truths that the masses simply don't realize.
Life is truly what you make it. If you want to grow, you have to learn and surround yourself with people who make you better.
Congratulations to you!
Darren
I can relate, I didn't grow up homeless, but my family did struggle, and they complained and blamed everything and everyone. As a result, I became the same way. It's taken me awhile to de-program myself, and I still have more residue left, but as I did, things in my life started to change.
Thank you for sharing
Oh I totally agree there sweety, I'm also having my moments of "residue" here and there that slow me down. Like you said, it takes time to make that switch. :)
Big hugs to you and let's make the best life we can!
I like your candid disclosure Angie. You have been blessed as many do to come out of the scarcity of life a shining diamond. Your cheerful kitty cat persona say it all.
Life won't suck for you as you show a winning mastery and this community will only assist
Great to hear from you again, Angie, and to know that you're still sticking two fingers up at the crap life has thrown at you. You're inspirational and you take away the excuses. Things will come good for you because you'll make it happen :-)

Success starts with the mind... and in my eyes, you are already a success. Once you are happy and grateful for the little things... more and greater things will be added onto you.
Remain blessed...
