Urge to complain

You have much to complain about. Rise above your need to do so.

Instead of complaining about the problem, devise a solution. Better yet, put that solution into action.

Complaining is so common that nobody really pays much attention when you do it. Yet people absolutely do sit up and take notice when you achieve something valuable and useful.

It’s not that much of a distance between complaining about what’s wrong and working to make things right. When you’ve identified the problem you’re well on your way toward solving it, so go beyond mere complaining.

Go ahead and finish the work of making things right. If it’s important enough to complain about, it’s important enough to do something about.

Think in terms of what’s desirable rather than just obsessing over what’s wrong. If you feel the urge to complain, choose instead to invest attention and effort into making real progress, and everyone will be much better off.
