don't complain

When we really appreciate what we have, we stop complaining. Being appreciative, like love, is a skill that is developed through practice.

“There were people who went to sleep last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again.

And those dead folks would give anything at all for just five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of plowing.

So you watch yourself about complaining.

What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” ― Maya Angelou
