Lou Holtz said, ‘Don’t complain. Eighty percent of the people you complain to don’t care and 20 percent are glad you have problems.’ ”
Every complaint represents an opportunity to turn something negative into a positive. We can use complaining as a catalyst for positive change in our own lives, at work, and in the world.
‘Let your complaints about problems move you to solutions. ’
When you realize you are complaining, you simply add the word but and then add a positive thought or positive action.
Focus on what you get to do. Focus on feeling blessed instead of stressed. Focus on gratitude.
with justified complaining you identify a problem and the complaint moves you toward a solution. Every complaint represents an opportunity to turn a negative into a positive.
Staying positive is not about putting on a fake smile or believing you can do it all yourself. Rather it’s about being optimistic and living with hope and having faith.
