Have you ever felt times when everything around was producing you to say negative things. I know I have. Its not the best moments. I ask myself sometimes, why am I saying this things? Why am I attacking people ? I feel we all can enter to place of discontent. When we do, every negative thought highlighted. Every small annoyance seemed magnified. Everything my kids did seem frustrating, everything thing my friends say seemed to rub me the wrong way. It is very easy to point out what we lack instead what we have.
What I do is keep my mouth shut and I start focusing to on the what is good around me. I start thanking God for my family, for my kids, for friends. I keep doing this until I come to place of over flowing of his goodness. When I am in this position I can make decisions on issues that need to be fixed. If we make decisions when we are discontent then we are reacting because we are hurting.
The last thing is surround yourself with people who will lift you up. People that will not necessarily agree with you, but will speak life into you.
Keep the fire burning

Awesome encouragement. I needed this reminder in my current season.
