He complains every single time. About anything.
The thing is, Constant Complainers are the personification of the looming black cloud of negativity.
We are all guilty of this at one point or another. I myself
have done this in the past to be honest. We all have high expectations for what
we are going to achieve, and when we hit a brick wall, we tend to blame
everything else except ourselves.
Recently, I've been in meetings where
everyone is complaining. Doesn't matter if he or she is the boss or not, but it
was a point where everyone has an opinion about a matter but the opinion was
all about complaining. "I can't do that....There is no time.....That idea
is ridiculous...why not someone else....I have a family....I have to go
shopping....there's no way that will work...", and so on. What bugs me the
most is, they don't give any solutions. Not even one. If you want to complain
about something, at least give a alternative or solution. Don’t just tell everybody why something sucks but give zero
solutions. It'a very hard for someone to listen to you being negative.
If you don’t have a better solution, don’t complain.
Because when you complain without providing a
better alternative… you’re not being a problem solver. You’re just being a
whiny-ass, dragging people around you into your whirlpool of negativity.
So the next time you find yourself focusing on how much
something sucks, ask yourself: “How can I solve this problem?”
Instead of bitching and moaning about all of the things that
are wrong in your life; take a stand, take action and change those things for
the better.
A negative thought is like a bad seed - if you water it, it
will grow, and like weeds in a garden... it will consume your life.
But this is your life, you can choose which seeds you
water - so make sure you water the good seeds, and not the bad ones.
Have a good day!
