Perhaps the best time for you to tell someone what has taken place in your life is when that person comes to you and says, 'What has happened to you? I have known you before and after.

Many do not realize that before they were complaining about an aching body or a chronic disease, they were complaining about many other things first.

Complaining is complaining, and it disallows improvement.
