We like complaining.

Some of us even make a sport out of it, constantly complaining about everything in hopes of out-complaining the person next to them.

The problem is when you’re always complaining about something, you’re always looking for something to complain about. The worldview you hold becomes a negative one where you expect the worst out of any situation.

It becomes difficult to live a fulfilling life, one where you even have a crumb of happiness, when there’s always something wrong. This eventually leads to other issues and can lead to a point where others start distancing themselves.

Instead, if you can take the time at the end of every day to find a few things you are grateful for, your outlook begins to change.

You start to look for the best of a situation and become grateful for the things you do have in your own life. It’s a small, subtle shift where you don’t feel bogged down by everything that’s wrong with the world.
