If you stop your contact with acquaintances who constantly complain about life, you will discover its charm yourself.
Focus on the positive
People sometimes have an innate talent for self-torture. Very often we tend to focus more on the negative aspects of something than the positive.
It is because of this quality that we also pay so much attention to our physical flaws. We constantly harass ourselves with thoughts like how we're not fit or skinny enough or how our skin isn't as smooth and clear as we'd like.
Well, enough already! Get all such thoughts out of your head if you want to be in a good mood. Instead of focusing on your flaws, pay attention to your positives.
