You may not particularly like the circumstances or situation you are in currently, but to only complain and moan about it is to ignore the good that is also present. If you cannot be grateful for the blessings you have regardless of the less desirable surrounding, then you won't be opened to receive more. Think about a child who just received the ice cream cone she was pining for all day and then immediately starts asking for the next thing before it is even finished. The lack of full enjoyment and living in the present blessing regardless of whether or not everything else is perfection is what prevents anyone or anything from changing further because of the inward attitude of ungratefulness. Every parent out there knows this all too well in dealing with children's want, want, want, and disregard for what they just got, got, got. Gratitude always or your lack of appreciation will be an ongoing stumbling block....always.
