Don’t Confuse Complaining With “Being Real” - Thursday Thoughts Blog

I’ve seen a bit of this going on lately.

Being real is opening your eyes to what is actually happening around you. Being real in a first world country for many people should be about being grateful for living in such an amazing country and not taking it for granted.

Being real is being humble. Being real is looking after others. Being real is being considerate of the situation others find themselves in. Being real should be about more than just you and your opinion.

Your opinion is your opinion, everyone is entitled to one, and no-ones opinion is necessarily more ‘real’ than anyone else’s.

Being real is not just complaining about things and calling it realness. It’s not about putting people down and calling it real.

Real doesn’t have to be controversial or combative, it can be inclusive, understanding and forgiving.

It’s an exercise I have to practice daily, and it’s not always easy, finding a way to look for a positive rather than just point at the negative all the time. But you get energy where you give it, and if you are always looking at what is bad, you will always see the worst in everything.
​
There is as much real in the good as there is in the bad, so let’s try and even the score.
