Don’t Complain

By
Education & Training with Ludwig & Associates

Don’t Complain

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it,

change your attitude. Don’t complain.”

Maya Angelou 1928 - 2014, American Best Selling Author,

Poet, Civil Rights Activist

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Don’t complain

 

Complaining isn’t the answer . . . . to anything. Complaining creates negativity . . . .  and multiplies the situation to make things worst.

 

Nobody wants to hear you complain . . . . grumble . . . . or whine. If someone is there listening to you complaining they’re routing for you to fail.

 

Whatever is causing you to feel like complaining . . . . needs to be address . . . . and changed. Find a way to change your situation . . . . change it . . . .and move on.

 

What you need to do is a change our attitude . . . . and in that change of attitude you will change your situation.

 Good morning Lou. There is no use in complaining other than just to vent. We are in control of our feelings and the situation.

Lou, so good to see you still actively bringing wisdom to the pages of AR. I actually needed this reminder. Thank you. Will do my best to keep it at the forefront of thought today and notice how well it does to change the outcome of my day. I am certain it will. Happy 2016 to you!

This is wonderful advice, Lou.  Though, in all honesty it feels really good to just vent sometimes.

Lou, you are right, no one wants to hear you complain - do something about it, and change it!

Lou Ludwig (and Nina Hollander ) I like to complain. How else are you going to know that you are stepping into my space?

Not everything is changeable.

Oh how I dislike being around constant complainers. We all need to vent from time to time but the one that thrives on it needs to get a life.

The late great Wayne Dyer said that you can't solve problem by condemning it. He's right. We have to think from the solution point.

Complaining feels good in the moment but ends up being like a hamster wheel spinning and spinning and going nowhere.

That last comment was in response to Debbie Reynolds and somehow, I forgot to tag her. Hope you're doing well, Debbie!
