Being grateful

One local host said, it is better not to have any sleep than be sleeping and not waking up. It is kinda funny for me, but I realized something. We tend to whine or complain on the things that are happening or those that are not happening. Frustrations, disappointments. But then, aren't we just be glad or accept the things that are not going in the way that we wanted it to be? Some complain of attending classes while the others wanted to go to school but they can't. Some are complaining on how the food on their table tastes like while others have no food on their plate. Simple cases of how some people have been acting. Instead of doing things that will make things get better, they whine/complain. Oh well, I can be guilty on getting frustrations, but at the end of the day, I always look back, I survived another day, whether things have gone or not on the way I planned them to be. And remember to look at the brighter side.

This reminds me of a motivational video I watched before on YouTube. Whoa! I am trying to search for it again but I cannot remember the title.

Good point...I've been whining that it's too cold out but at least I have a warm house and I'm not homeless

That is absolutely true . Instead of whining just be grateful that you are still living and eating 3 times a day , with a house where you can sleep soundly .

I try not to complain about small things that really aren't important. I have so much to be thankful for, that I shouldn't be complaining about anything!

counting blessings is much easier to do than thinking about the troubles :)

I try not to complain too much about little things, and to remember how lucky I am, but I'm not always successful. I think it's human nature to moan.

True. We should always count our blessings than count what we do not have.
