Day 15

From 40 days to a Joy-Filled life by Tommy Newberry

- Ingrates feel entitled. Nothing is quite so powerful or so quickly destructive to your potential for joy as the attitude of entitlement.

- Moaners and whiners surround us, and they often seem to be competing to see who has the worst grievance against society or who can be the most offended

From 40 days to a joy-filled life by Tommy Newberry:
