Happy Venting - Ep. 439


Listen Later

Happy Venting just means that you’re choosing a safe outlet for what bugs you, 

As opposed to a full-blown battle royale every time you get a tad bit upset,
Keep things in perspective, let off a little steam without too much fuss or to-do,
Because if you make it an obsession, you’ll get stuck wallowing in emotional debt.

Ep. 439 - Happy Venting

We begin as always 

with the Happy Creed.

We believe in Happy, 

in Balance and Growth, 
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.

My Happy Friends!

The value of venting while various is by no means universally valid,

Sure, it can be a great release, but it can also become a nasty habit,
Constant complaining can turn the song in your heart into a bitter ballad,
Transforming even the sweetest of bunnies into a vicious and angry rabbit.

And who’s going to want to listen to someone with nothing positive to say?

Sure, it feels good to talk about what bothers us, especially if people agree,
But there comes a point when it makes everything look like doomsday,
‘Cause if relationships get strained enough, even goodwill has no guarantee.

Besides you may start feeling like the worst version of yourself too,

The more you make a stink, the more you surrender your ability to cope,
But reframe the blame, and accept that others make mistakes just like you do,
And if they can avoid their own downfall, then maybe you too can dare to hope.

Happy Venting just means that you’re choosing a safe outlet for what bugs you, 

As opposed to a full-blown battle royale every time you get a tad bit upset,
Keep things in perspective, let off a little steam without too much fuss or to-do,
Because if you make it an obsession, you’ll get stuck wallowing in emotional debt.
