A woman was complaining a lot about her life to her mother, saying:
“Nights pass by so hard because my husband snores a lot.
My daughter always complains while washing dishes.
We pay a lot in taxes and it’s killing me.
I come home exhausted.
It’s so hard to mop the floor and clean the windows.
When I get sick, it is frustrating, I don’t have time for that.
Buying gifts for Christmas is so annoying, I don’t like it.
I hate waking up early in the morning by my alarm.”
When she stopped to sip her tea, her mom said: “I remember experiencing all these frustrating life challenges as well. But I looked at them differently and with an opposite attitude. I remember I thanked God every night for;
My husband is snoring, which means he is alive.
My daughter is mumbling while washing the dishes, which means she is at home and safe.
We pay lots of taxes, which means we have jobs.
I came home tired at the end of the day, which meant I could handle hard work.
I have to mop and wash the windows means I have a home and shelter.
When I get sick sometimes, it reminds me to be thankful for the healthy days.
When it is time to buy gifts for Christmas, it means I have loved ones around me.
When I have to get up early with an alarm, so I can see another day.”
The mother sipped her tea and continued: “It is completely up to us my dear, how to look at the world around us.”
Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.
Very beautifully motive your daughter. I think is the lesson we all should teach our new generation. What you say ?

If we have a positive attitude things will most likely turn out OK but if we have a negative attitude it will be most likely a negative outcome. The mother is right, it’s what we make of it.
