Are You Surrounded By Stingy People?

Do you find yourself complaining that the people around you are always the stingy ones? It’s always her, him or them who are very calculative, seldom give you a brunch treat or even hand you some souvenir when they come back from a vacation? Have you recalled relaying this matter to your family members, giving a comment about a certain stingy individual, and if could have liked him/her better with a little balance of generousity? Examine yourself if this article is best written for you.

Honestly speaking, I AM NOT surrounded by stingy people. I don’t know why some people are so unlucky to be in that situation that wherever they go, they always complain about the same thing. IT’S THE PEOPLE who are this and that. I’ve been the person who listen to the babbling. I mean, Seriously? What kind of curse that engulf you to receive such fate? Hahahaha. Kidding.

Look…it’s very simple. When you go to a new environment, often find yourself “out of place”, like why everyone here is bad, or unfriendly, or anything you can think of. It’s like there’s always something wrong with the people around you. Oh come on. Are you sure you are not Miss-No-Defect? Hahaha. OMG, don’t you get how sarcastic I’m sounding with this topic?

Look at yourself. If you are someone who ALWAYS EXPECTS something from people, this could result. If you expect anyone be at your service whenever you want them, NO WONDER you always end up in the wrong surrounding or environment. In other words, NOTHING ever gonna fit you. You’re unfit to be with any kind of society where many kinds of people are living together. In other words, you will never be happy with where you belong because YOU EXPECT TOO MUCH from people. This answers the question WHY I am not surrounded by stingy or even boasty people…you want to know why? Because I never think of them that way although they don’t pay for my food everytime we eat together, or I never really think different of people when they “tell a fact” about them, if they announce that they have a Merc parking outside the building –NO. If you see the trick, it’s not about people, it’s about YOU and your expectation. You will always have complains and dissatisfactions towards the people around you if your expectation is high.

So the answer to the question in the topic is, of course everyone will look stingy to you when you always hope and think that some of their money should go to you and it’s people’s responsibility to always at your service. If you want to have a more peaceful life, NEVER hope for what belongs to others and always have yourself to serve your own needs instead of always hoping something from others cos I believe that YOU don’t do that to people too. Your money is yours and if you only treat people when you feel like to. This is WHY I am never surrounded by stingy people because I never expect anything from them.

Same goes with other things. When you find yourself complaining that it’s ALWAYS people who are not with the right attitude, hey hey…maybe IT’S YOU who are with the problem. You could meet a few wrong people at one time, but not ALL the time. So the remedy is simple. MEND YOUR EXPECTATION. Or realistically speaking, you can’t change your surrounding so YOU CHANGE!

Viola! Sooner you will have your view cleared. It’s a beautiful sight when you keep your expectation low. No more Cruel Life. No More People who keep wronging you. Don’t believe me. But try and you’ll see. Life is how you see things. Simple :)
