Instead of Complaining - Don't Adopt Weaknesses You Hate
What can we do about weaknesses that cause problems?
Yesterday I was talking with my husband and we were upset about the weaknesses and problems with someone we see on a regular basis. For a while, we were discouraged and angry. We spent a few minutes complaining and detailing how horrible things were. Then we started talking about how we can work with and around those weaknesses and still be happy, still get our desired outcomes. After that discussion, the rest of the day was better.
If you want things to improve, start with yourself.
Take a moment now to think about the last time you complained about someone else’s behavior. What was it that bothered you? Now take a long and deep look at your own behavior. How often do you exhibit the behavior, attitude, and qualities you complained about? How would your life change if you stopped complaining about others and improved your own behavior?
