Cool article here:

“Repeated complaining rewires your brain to make future complaining more likely. Over time, you find it’s easier to be negative than to be positive, regardless of what’s happening around you. Complaining becomes your default behavior, which changes how people perceive you. And here’s the kicker: complaining damages other areas of your brain as well. Research from Stanford University has shown that complaining shrinks the hippocampus—an area of the brain that’s critical to problem solving and intelligent thought. Damage to the hippocampus is scary, especially when you consider that it’s one of the primary brain areas destroyed by Alzheimer’s.”

Guys, faith/positive thinking literally makes you smarter, happier, and more likely to succeed in all your endeavors. And since you can't focus on more than one thing at a time, if you're complaining, you're exercising a NEGATIVE FAITH. You're moving yourself and the world in the wrong direction.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other...Therefore I tell you, do not worry..." Matt 6:22-25

"For we live by faith, not by sight." 2 Cor 5:7

Again I encourage everyone to turn off the news, and maybe even tune out from this site for a few days if it's tempting you to feel negative, and go CLOSE YOUR EYES and pray, or REFOCUS YOUR EYES on something encouraging. Read some scriptures on faith, go exercise, write a list of things you're grateful for, work on your to do list, something. Remember if you lack belief but you want it, pray "Lord, help thou mine unbelief." It can't hurt.
