sunshine.

"stop living in the sunshine
start living in the rain
stop telling me you'll be fine
start living with the pain"



When I heard this, I actually realised what people's problem is. We spend too much time thinking 'what if', wondering how it would be if we won the lottery tomorrow, wasting our days away dreaming. The sad reality is that people spend two hours a day day dreaming, picturing their next holiday, spending money they haven't already got, and forgetting the most important thing- what they already have.

We are so ungrateful for what we have, no matter how lucky we are, how amazing the people around us are, the sacrifices they have made for us, we always want to go another material step forward. For what is the meaning of life if you don't have a soft-top convertible and apple's new needless gadget, eh?

I myself have been guilty, so many times, for being materialistic and taking everything around me for granted, but I honestly think it's about time everyone stood back and took a look at what they actually have. Cars, blackberries, massive 9 bedroom houses, I-Pads or whatever they are, mean nothing but status. True, you may want to waste your life needlessly chasing a higher status, but what does it really mean when you sit back and see no real achievement, no one around you to care?

These material things are bullshit, they mean nothing, so why do people waste so much of their time wondering what life would be like IF they had the latest thing?! IT DOESN'T MATTER, look what you have people!! We're all lucky enough to have families around us, people who actually give a shit about us, most of us have jobs that allow us to splash out on the material crap, and if we don't have that, we are lucky enough to live in a place where the opportunities are available to succeed.

I people took those 2 wasted hours of day dreaming, and put them to good use, all the things they dream of would be that little bit closer. And true, it isn't going to take 5 minutes, but isn't success so much sweeter when you've actually worked your arse off for it?!

People need to stop the needless wishing. Pick yourself up and put yourself to work, and instead of wishing for the sunshine, the hard work will bring it straight to your front door.


boom.
