Where There Is Will
In response to a wish at one time for some of the family to stop complaining about what they did not have and wishing they had it (The Internet and working computer), this was a writeup that was posted for all to see about the frustrations about being true to one's own self. This was not a dig or jab or jibe, and was certainly not intended to be mean spirited in any way. It was simply a call to personal arms to get off of the complaining wagon and do something constructive; because if it was worth doing, it was worth the cessation of complaints.
Here is the original posting from so long ago. Enjoy.

Everyone has heard of the saying: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Have you ever thought about that in the context of complainers?
Sometimes when talking with people, a topic of discussion will come up and the complaint will be raised from others that “I can’t do that” or “I don’t have thus and such” in an attempt to make me feel guilty. Let it be said now that any lack of compassion on my part for certain things in this area of discussion is not cold hearted. I can say this because I know me.
I know that when I want something, when I really want something, I find a way to get it. If I do not know something and I really want to know it, I find a way to learn it. When it is about me, I only complain when I am lazy. Even if I were unable to do something, I know how to find someone who is able and cut a deal if I have to. Like I said, I know me.
I have had some discussions in the past with persons trying to make me feel guilty over topics. But they will not do it, because I know me. And if it were me and the topic was that important to me, I would find a way.
