I remember some time ago, I was just thinking about a lot of things that were not just right about our country. I would talk about it with loved ones and few friends. I would complain. I would try to plan ways to escape, look for flights, and so on. Then I would think of my kids and family and change my mind. It was a horrible feeling. I just couldn't believe Nigeria didn't change much from where I left it many years ago. What even made matters worse was when I went somewhere to apply for something and the guy looked at me and said, "madam, are you OK? What are you doing here? People are going out, you are coming back?" Oh God, that was the last straw. I went home and cried.
After I calmed down, there was this whisper in my heart saying to me, "but you desired to come back. You longed to see your homeland you left when you were a child. You desired to help and be a blessing. You will go back but there is still work to do. Turn your complaints into writings.... "
That was my remedy.
When you see me talking all positive. It took a lot to be in that place. I don't know what your case is, but I know God can give you a remedy for that situation and give you courage to have contentment. And God's Word says, "Godliness with contentment is great gain."
Stay in Christ.
