In life, you can choose to be G(rouchy) or you can choose to be J(olly).
It’s way too easy to be G. To complain. To wake up in a bad mood. To find little flaws in everything you see in the world, and focus on those. You can spend hours fighting with random strangers online and policing the behavior of the people around you. You can default to thinking big, difficult ideas are impossible, raining cynicism down on the world. You can become one of those folks who is somehow surrounded by “toxic people”, yet cannot find a single flaw in themselves. This is the lazy path to living life.
