I am generally a glass half full kind of guy. I like to find possibilities rather than look for obstacles. I also tend to believe the best in people rather than find fault. I say all this while understanding that I can be as negative as the next person at times. There are times when I have difficulties with complaining.
The opposite of complaining is thankfulness. I need to cultivate a grateful heart. A positive outlook searches for the good in circumstances. I Thessalonians 5:18 says, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Knowing that all circumstances are the will of God for me and that God is good all the time helps change my heart attitude to one of thankfulness.
