"Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise. They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD."
- Psalm 106:24-25
A spirit of discontent is a dangerous one. It is one that easily turns away from believing and forgets all the good that has been blessed. For what? Seeking what others have? Wanting to attain what others have, albeit bordering an unhealthy mind does not mean a thing when nothing significant is put into effort in order to acquire the desire.
How can you get angry for not getting something by doing nothing? It does not make sense! If a life of self sufficiency and comfort is all you ask for, then that is already your lot in life. If you have supposed justifications and reasons for not wanting to even work on new or different things, please do not make as though that what happens or what does not happen, is something uncommon.
For the things you wish you could have without putting the time and effort into being capable of handling it... It is ridiculous. With the more important things in life such as building relationships, there is no instant noodle method to it.
You can't make yourself change instantly to become a better person just for another. It is not natural. It is not sincere. It is done with the purpose of desire for the other. But is it truly your real self as how you would behave? True change must be with conviction.
The opportunity to change while idle is there for the taking, in preparation of what is to come. If one does not make the changes, how can he expect to receive something he is incapable of taking charge? If you do not want to be a leader then you will not be given a position of which you are to lead. And if you are not a leader, who would look to you for anything? If you are unable to even take charge of your own life, who would look to you for anything?
