Human beings do not need much effort to notice what is wrong.
Complaining, criticizing and finding problems can become our default setting.
Gratitude requires something different. You have to consciously search for what is good, notice what Allah has given you and redirect your attention away from constant negativity.
Just as physical strength requires exercise, gratitude requires mental and spiritual training.
The easy state is complaint. The stronger state is shukr.
