One time, I was traveling alone and sat behind these two guys on a flight. Honestly, I wasn’t intentionally tryingto overhear their conversation. They were just talking loud enough for me to hear.
One of the guys was complaining about EVERYTHING! He had arthritis in his knee! He hated traveling for his job! His salary wasn’t nearly enough! And the list went on and on!
I thought, “Dude! Just quit your job!”
He didn’t have ONE single positive thing to say for that entire flight!
Then I started thinking,“Gosh, Nicole! I hope you don’t sound like that! Then I started to recall some of the times when I probably DID sound just like that!
Holy Cow! I HAVE been “that guy!”
In every situation we always have the power to decide how we’re going to react! Happiness isn’t just a feeling… it’s a CHOICE we make, every day!

Okay, so I just confessed to you. Now it’s your turn. Have you ever been “that guy”?

Good morning! I’ve read this before but, today have a different perspective! Yes, yes yes I’ve been “that guy.” I really, really don’t want my bad attitude to separate me from God’s will on my life! Thanks so much for sharing this again! 😀💯💖
Yes I use to be that guy until I was thinking what complaining going to do I just thank God for everything
Yes, I’ve been “that guy”. I find when I notice something in someone else that is a reflection of what I use to be I start thanking God that he has either delivered me from that or is giving me insight on what I need to work on.
Sadly yes i have been that guy..😔
I have been that guy. Just complained about everything. I’ve learned to put it in God’s hands
Yes I have been that guy in the past but thanks to walking with the Lord He has changed me and helped me become so aware of my words and also how important it is to have a spirit of gratitude! My old man has been dying day by day. That guy just hasn’t had a revelation of that yet,
Of course definitely I have been that guy/girl not usually out loud to people mostly hold in my complaints .
