I have seen many successful people no matter what’s going on in their life or someone’s else, they always find out a way to be happy. These people they are altogether a different breed and you know what? They don’t CRIB or procrastinate because they know it’s not going to do any good. Instead they find out a way to be happy and that’s one of the main reason why they are successful.

Contrary to this there’s a second breed of people who are increasing in number everyday. This second breed of people is unknowingly developing a habit, CRIBBING. Yes, you read it right! you are unknowingly developing a habit of cribbing. I repeat Cribbing. Now many of you would be thinking how can one develop an habit of cribbing unknowingly ?Read on you will understand there is one.

Imagine its a normal day, the sun is shining bright & its a Friday, you are looking forward to your weekend. Maybe be you are going out with your family or friends and want to spend some quite stress-free time from your hectic schedule.So instead of getting up and preparing yourself for the weekend first thing in the morning you do is check your cell phone or smartphone, browse through some Facebook updates and there you see a status update from your virtual Facebook friend he\she is traveling to that exotic location where you have been wanting to go since ages and there you go, psychologically process for cribbing starts.

You immediately start comparing your weekend to his or her weekend. How cool would it be to go to Andaman’s? And where am I going to some shit farmhouse where I will be doing nothing, whereas he\she would be enjoying in Andaman’s and it goes on and on, from there on you start the dominoes effect which at the end of the day ruins your weekend.You have not only ruined your weekend but of your companions too. Making it worse, this goes on & on, instead what was meant to be your quiet, quality time you just kept thinking of that post.

This was just an example, there would have been many instances in your life which you can recall and how unintentionally you started cribbing for no reason.It’s not limited up to social platforms but also in day to day life in person. You have a friend of yours who just has got a promotion or a new car or a new house whatever it may be, reasons can be numerous but without thinking for a split second you start cribbing he\she has this I don’t have that, I also want it.

Guys for yourself please stop it! you haven’t done anything wrong to punish yourself in this way and not for yourself but for the sake of humanity stop doing it and torturing people around you.

Comparing your life with others starts a series of reaction. You start cribbing which leads on to attracting negative thoughts, which will upset you more. and will end up making you grumpy, sad, annoyed or angry and at the end of the day, you are doing damage to yourself.It’s becoming a kind of disease which can do serious damage. If there is something good happening in someone’s life celebrate but don’t compare and this will eventually make you happy.

So be happy with who you are, enjoy the life you are living and I can certainly guarantee if you could stop cribbing you can start living and almost 90% of your problems would vanish on their own.
