“Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won’t make us happier.”
Randy Pausc
I love this mantra, ‘You are not allowed to complain about something unless you are going to do something about it.’
This mantra is a gift which teaches us to have a ‘solution-driven’ mindset that is positive and productive vs. a negative, complaining, and draining mindset which only holds us back.
Complainers are usually stuck in a destructive pattern of needing a captive audience to serve as a dumping ground for their negative emotions.
A day without complaints is like being on our favorite island, where everything is perfect.
There is nothing healthy about complaining. And just like many other unhealthy pursuits, it can be addicting if we choose to partake in this activity too often.
Give yourself a gift and have a complaint-free day today…..Look for a solution.
”Now, 10 years later, the person who talked and complained is still talking and complaining and still remains in the same position. The person who took the initiative and found solutions has been promoted several times.”
