What do you complain about the most?

To be honest, I complain about far too many things.

It’s easy to complain about the weather, it’s normally too cold, too hot, too wet, too dry, too bright, not enough sunshine!

The life skill, we should know, is to look at the positives. Yes, it’s very cold, but what does that mean? The ground is frozen so it’s not muddy. The sky is clear so it’s sunny. Yes, it’s still just as cold as it was, but by reframing my thoughts, I feel positive about it!

This morning, the dog ate some of the cat’s breakfast. I would definitely have complained about that. Except, I put the cat food down and I let the dog out of the kitchen! So I decided to take a more philosophical view – no harm done!

So I try to be a little more understanding, a little more forgiving and a bit more patient.

We are only human after all!
