If you're a sniveler, a whiner, a complainer, you'll never be happy.  We all have that side, but we get it under control.  Get a little stoical and just take the pain.  But then turn your attention with your will.  Study the great teachings of the teachers, read books that expand you, that are bright.  See films, plays, art forms that elevate your consciousness, that bring you into a sense of how beautiful this world is, how beautiful other worlds are, how beautiful nirvana - the transcendental - is.
