For some reason we seem
to have come to a place where complaining is accepted. All too often we play the victim, blame
others, point fingers and gripe. The fact that we complain implies that we
think the circumstances are someone else’s fault and out of our control. That
may be the case. However, the complaint itself is unlikely to change
anything. There are alternatives to
complaining.
Next time you feel the
need to complain, consider the impact of that.
What will be accomplished by complaining? More importantly consider your options. Might it be best to just remove yourself from
the matter? Are there ways you can take
the initiative to change and improve the circumstances? Maybe it is a battle not worth fighting and
an act of quiet acceptance is in order.
Be productive or be quiet!
“When you complain you make yourself a victim. Either leave the situation, change the
situation or accept it.”
- Eckhart Tolle
