9. Give thanks when you feel like complaining.

The act of venting or complaining doesn’t actually make us feel better. It gives us the temporary illusion of feeling better, but then we quickly feel worse than we felt before. Gratitude is God’s remedy for negativity. When you feel like complaining, start thanking Him for all the blessings in your life. You’ll discover that it’s nearly impossible to be thankful and stressed at the same time.

Dave Willis quote pray when you feel like worrying give thanks when you feel like complaining and keep going when you feel like quitting
10. Keep going when you feel like quitting.

When you feel like giving up and when things seem “impossible,” KEEP GOING. Perseverance isn’t just on the pat to happiness; it IS the path to happiness! Don’t let setbacks derail you. Don’t let discouragement get you sidetracked. Keep going. Stay the course. God is with you and there are great days ahead!
