Did You Know Being Grateful Has an Annoying Downside?

Sometimes you want the easy way out

Do you ever have days when you think it’s enough with this gratitude stuff?

I do.

Don’t get me wrong, being grateful has opened my eyes. I’m a happier person now.

Still, there are days when I think complaining feels easier — a weight off the shoulders.

But, here’s the downside to gratitude.

Once you get on the gratitude train you can never get off!

You start thinking you should be grateful you have things to complain about.

That’s when gratitude becomes annoying.

For example, when you’re all dressed up, and the weather is crappy. You just want to complain about the bad weather ruining your good hair day! That’s it.

Yet, as annoying as it can be, gratitude does put things into perspective. It balances the negative by making you focus on the positive. So, in the end, I’m grateful for gratitude.
