You have the right to be discouraged! Just get yourself together and take action afterwards. I've watched some of your videos and you sure doesn't look like a selfish bitch to me^_^
(part 2) expectations, we shouldn't stay in a complaining state of mind, but instead think of ways to get out of trouble. I think that a person who is constantly complaining about the things s/he doesn't have but does nothing about it is far more selfish than the concerned friend you seem to be. Please don't feel selfish if sometimes, you feel sad or angry or desesperate for situations you feel are not "bad enough".
I think it is very important to keep thoughts in perspective when you are in a bad situation, because yes, as you say, things could be worse, and you do have aspects of your life that are are doing great. That being clear, I also think that even if a friend's situation is worse, as people, we have the right to be sad or scared about situations that we feel are bad. I don't think it makes us selfish: it makes us realize our limits as humans or our expectations about life. Once we've realise those
Autumn you're such a lovely person! I think we all try to be grateful for everything we have, but sometimes we don't even realize everything we should be grateful for.
Thanks, i watch your videos all the time, and i truly understand what it feels like, my husband and i are just now catching up our bills from when i was out of work.. yes, jobs are hard to find, but ya gotta keep looking, take whatever you can to survive.and keep praying to the gods,for they do watch over us, you did this video at a great time to remind us to be thankful for what we have,, and to help others this season, christmas and yule,, should be about giving, sometimes we do need reminding
When I think about how much I have to be grateful for, it almost makes my head spin! Lol My health, my husband, the opportunities I've been given...it's just endless. I loved this vlog!!!!! Blessed Be to You and Yours
im with ya, i live in a 2 bedroom mobile home, but like you said, i have a roof over my head and a job and my husband has a job, but we cant afford insurance on me, so i go to a free clinic, and i donate money at each visit,, there have been times when i had to go to the clinic for free food when i wasnt working, so please everyone be thankful for what you do have and donate for those that dont,, because one days you might be in that situation,, and it may take some time but it will get better
Girl, it was only about a year and a half ago that I moved into this house from a 2 bedroom mobile home, so I know what that's like. That's the home I brought my son home to from the hospital. Before that, we'd lived in a "shotgun" house. And there have been plenty of times that I didn't have insurance, etc. Thank you so much for understanding the point of this video, and for posting what you did. It means sooo much to me. Love and Light and BB to you!
i know how you feel. i feel like i can be selfish too. i didn't have to work to pay for college because the money comes from my moms trust fund. i have a meal plan so i always have food. i stay in the dorms so i have a place to stay with cable and internet. my dad pays my cellphone bill so i feel like a lot is given to me. and i still find myself wanting money for clothes, books, etc. so yeah i feel selfish most of the time.
So amazingly, wonderfully put hon! Even when we think things are hard and don't seem like they will get better, there is ALWAYS someone out there who has it 10x, 20x worse.. and sometimes with no real hope of things ever getting better. ;( I know when I went to Ecuador I saw that all day, every day, and that is why I am so SO grateful for everything in my life. Big hugs to you, amazing video as always. ♥♥♥
I actually don't have any food in my pantry. I can't afford to spend $150.00 at the grocery store.
I can't even use my car because i don't have money for gas. We don't even know if we can pay this months Internet/car payment/electric bills. who knows if we will even have money to pay the rent.
I never said i wasn't grateful for what i have. and it is very little.
Brittany, I understand that you're having troubles right now, but so are a lot of people. A LOT. No one has said that you said you weren't grateful for your many blessings. I haven't seen anyone say, "CS11 is ungrateful;" I would never say that. This video was me saying what *I* think, what *I* feel right now. There are SO many people struggling, and we all need to take a step back and see the things we do have, and to try to stay positive. There's nothing strange ab that. Love and light to you.
Oh my gosh I really needed this video today..I have been so down in myself esp when it comes to money, but you have given me some light and hope :) I have a happy healthy family and 2 beautiful children, a lovely home (ok needs DIY but its home) I have food, my husband has a job. I am greatful for everything in my life I may not be RICH but I have everything I want.
Autumn, you seem to me to be a loving compassionate woman, so don't be so harsh with yourself. I think it is a gift when we have those moments where we step back and look with renewed gratitude at our blessings. This is going to be a very strained holiday season for so many people. Hopefully those who have will be willing and able to share with those who have not and to continue in that spirit throughout the new year. I am officially and openly celebrating Yule this year rather than trad. Xmas.
Excellent!! I am grateful everyday that I get to spend with my husband and kids. The thought of being without a single one of them terrifies me. I feel like you do when I watch some of the videos on here knowing how rough things are for them. I wish I could take it all away, but I think for those of us who do have income, who do have good health, and a happy home...I think it should be a reminder to not take any of it for granted. To be that much more grateful, and do what we can for others
Thank you so much, Nika. That's exactly the message I wanted to get across, and I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed the video. And yes, to be grateful for what we have, to not take it for granted, to love and be loved, to help others however we can...that's what we all should strive toward. Love to you!
I absolutely loved watching this video.. I'm going through a hard time this week and this made my day. :) We have LOTS of things to be grateful for.. We just have to see them. I am grateful even for the Full Moon coming(which most people take for granted).
Thank you! I'm glad it made your day. *smile* We do all have so many blessings in our lives that we sometimes overlook or take for granted, and it was so wonderful and refreshing for me to be made aware of that. (And I'm grateful for the Full Moon coming as well! It's absolutely my favorite time of the month. ;-) )
your not an ungratefull bitch hun. your a wonderfull loveing person and an amazeing mother. but you raise several good points. those who are often in the worst positions are often the most gratefull for whatever it is that they do have.
What a Fantastic Video!!! We all need to take stock of our lives to see just how much you do have and what is truly important to us!! Happy Birthday to your Husband.
thank you so much for posting this video. i faved it. you conveyed very much so what others are neglecting to hear. no matter how bad anyone's situation seems, someone out there has it so SO much worse. its all in faith that keeps the willing strong. we do need to be and stay grateful for what we have and not be consumed with what we don't. and in this time of hardship that the world is in right now the last thing we need to do is be negative. lol, isn't positivity our "thing"? :) <3 2U!!!!
This is such a wonderful video!!!! This video brought me to tears...it was wonderful...so many people need to hear this and be grateful for what I have...this was truly breathe taking!!!! I love you so much and you are truly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to make and VR to this and I will! You know how much this video means to me!!!! I love you!!!!!! xoxox
Great video. I think sometimes we get so carried away with our lives that we forget to take a step back a realize how lucky we truly are. So many people are in financial trouble right now and things seem so bleak, but we need to take the time to be grateful, and to feel abundance in our life in order to draw abundant energy to ourselves. Blessed be )O( Bridget )O(
I REALLY like your shirt! Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBS!
Very good points! I think there are alot of people right now that really need to hear this. I think the economy sucks, but I also think alot of people are wallowing and "whoa is me" when there are so many others that have it SO MUCH HARDER.
I think we all need to remember to be thankful for what we have, even if it's not much.
LOL!!! Thank you! That's so funny...in one of the (three) takes I did of this video, I was like, "Like this shirt, for instance. It's a hand me down from a friend that was given to me when I was pregnant with my son. It's a Maternity sweater, but I still wear it anyway because I hate buying clothes." LOL!
And I'm glad you agree. It's just been something that's been on my mind, and I needed to get it out there.
thank you
