Be Thankful for a Better Tomorrow

"I can't make it!" 

"He will probably deny his feelings for me." 

"My husband is a couch potato!"

Those are just few of the examples of complaining and pessimism that we hear from people throughout the globe. Some people are optimistic and some are pessimistic. However, when people complain on everything, it doesn't mean they are unhappy. It only means that bad things happened in their lives. If you will to monitor people from everywhere, they seem to complain a lot regardless of life's circumstances.

Now a days, people are always complaining and never seem to stop.  

 "A doubted person is a dangerous person. Never let anyone discourage you from what you want to do. Those people that discourage other people are the ones who discourage themselves and think the possible is impossible".

A statistic shows that an average people complains 15 to 30 times a day and it will not only risk our relationship with other people and the things that surrounds us but it will as well affect our health. When people complain, they become stress. Stress makes our immune system weak as it reduce immunity which may lead to the entrance of bacteria in our body. 

How we treat complaining is to think positively on the brighter side of things that happened. It may seem to be difficult specially when you got hurt, but as you see its light shine on the other side of the horizon, you will know what it means, the reason it happened and the beginning of something new which is much better than the past. 

Let me just give you an inspiring poem on how we should be thankful enough for all the things entrusted to us.
