Today I got one of the first serious comments on my blog, at least I thought:
The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to read, however I actually thought you’d have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could repair if you weren’t too busy in search of attention.
It was a comment on the post Ruled by Emotions and the comment sounds quite serious, like if the person really read the post and gave some serious comment, which may also be true. How disappointed I was when I saw the web address (http://century21powers.com/isabel.asp) and the e-mail address (kjpfmi@gmail.com).
So this person sees me as a complainer, as whining, which I guess I do a lot as I get more of this kind of feedback. Like last week when I think I wrote that someone pointed out to me that my posts are very negative, that is a lot of negativity in me. And today I wrote a post in my personal blog, about someone telling me that I seem to be lost in life, that I need to ‘find myself’. Well, I also heard that a lot.
So yes, I guess there is truth in it, that I’m a complainer, that I’m whining a lot, that there is a lot of negativity in me. And that other people see and feel that. And that they don’t like that. But you know, maybe I have reason to complain. Maybe things didn’t work out as I wanted them to. Maybe it’s not that easy to be me, same as I guess it may not easy for you to be you.
So why fake it? Why pretend I’m happy if I’m not? Why not just be honest?
And you know? Maybe I’m not doing that bad in life, maybe I did do a lot of things and did work a lot and was expecting some more appreciation for that. And you know, I don’t consider myself negative in my actions if you would start counting. And i don’t consider myself as not wanting the good, not wanting the positive, not only for me, but for everybody.
Maybe a good example is this website and blog. I built the whole thing practically myself, and you may mainly see the negative posts. But there is a lot more in this site and I really intend to make this the best site on the internet about inspiration for success, especially for people like me, who don’t have the success they are looking for yet, the success they deserve and need so much. So maybe even for you, otherwise you probably wouldn’t read this post. So you may start reading about the principles of success, or check the exercises part. And yes, maybe I should put a bit more, or even a lot more, in that part. Well, something to think about while I’m writing this. Maybe that’s also the background of the comment at the beginning of this posts.
So maybe next time when you meet a complainer, someone like me, you may want to look a little better, a little deeper, because there may be more than you see at first site. Isn’t the same true for you?
