First – hopefully you’re the one that catches you complaining.
No one has ever said they liked a coworker because they complained or a smart idea got expertly executed because someone complained.
Squeeky wheels get grease but they don’t get promoted, valued, partnered with… They get minimally corrected and then discounted.
Second – observing that there’s complaining means action has to follow.
Complaining about the job? Create a new one. Complaining about a coworker? Drown them with kindness. Complaining about your weight? Well… I could keep going but all these are obvious.
And that’s where the real pain of complaining comes from when it’s shared with others.
Actions are obvious to those that hear you complaining (and when you address it to yourself, it’s obvious too).
It’s not easy to go from feeling the need to complain to feeling the power to do something about it; but it’s necessary.
Stay Positive & Take Action
