But how does that invite misery? Well, it doesn't invite misery into our own lives, but it does in Joe's case. Joe knows that he has all repparttar tools at his disposal to fix part or all of repparttar 101302 situation. It's not that Joe can't fix repparttar 101303 problem, it's that he doesn't want to fix repparttar 101304 problem. Repairing situations takes effort, dedication and sometimes, sacrifice - it is much easier to complain about it. In Joe's case, turning his son in for neglect may sever repparttar 101305 ties of his complex father-son relationship. He feels instant guilt and betrayal should he file a report. He doesn't want to stop his son from using him because he may sever ties of communication with him. Instead, he would rather uphold an abusive relationship with his own grown son, knowing that his grandson is in harm's way for repparttar 101306 sake of preserving his relationship with him. This is a classical example of inviting misery into one's life.

Joe has subconsciously invited misery to become his partner in everyday life. He lives in constant debate on whether he's doing repparttar 101307 'right thing.' He is angry that his son has grown into a volatile person, and he is scared for his grandson's health. But still, he accepts this self-induced fate. Joe cannot control repparttar 101308 actions of his son, but, he can control his own actions. If he permits his son to burden him with his behavior, dirty laundry and leaching, then he has invariably created his own problem. If Joe has knowledge that his grandson is being neglected, it is by choice that he allows repparttar 101309 neglect to continue. Only Joe has repparttar 101310 power to choose.

As human beings, we are often faced with difficult choices in life. And many times, it is much easier to worry and complain. Though difficult decisions may arise, we still have repparttar 101311 option to create more livable environments by directing ourselves in more constructive pattens. There are many 'Joes' out there with lesser or more complex problems than repparttar 101312 fictional Joe in this article; however, you - nor I - can help him. Joe has to help himself first.

The more that's given to them, repparttar

more they complain about not having been given more. They are waiting for their ship to come in. Use of proper grammar is never a priority for them. They spend more than five percent of their income on lottery tickets. They've developed a sense of entitlement. They feel that repparttar 101301

world owes them something. Therefore, they feel no need for gratitude. They've made a habit of never paying their bills on time and are constantly dodging their creditors. They won't do any more work than they absolutely have to. They see no dishonor in being a slacker. In fact, they take pride in their indolence. They think they should be able to do whatever makes them feel good and whatever satisfies their urges, without any natural consequences. They wink at immoral behavior. The concepts of restraint, self discipline, and delayed gratification are foreign to them. They've become experts at making excuses for themselves. They live to have what they want and have it immediately. They refuse to take personal responsibility for their own actions. They constantly suspect others of ulterior motives. They are always looking to cut corners and take short cuts. They can't accept losses or setbacks gracefully. They find The Jerry Springer Show more interesting than a presidential debate. People can easily discern that they have an attitude just by observing repparttar 101302

expression on their face.
