I\u2019ve been speaking to a lot of organizations around the country and the one thing I keep hearing from leaders and employees is that complaining is at an all time high. I\u2019m not surprised.<\/p>\n
There are two main reasons why we complain.<\/p>\n
1. We complain because we feel powerless.<\/p>\n
2. We complain because it\u2019s a habit.<\/p>\n
The economy has shaken a lot of people\u2019s foundations and we feel powerless which leads to a rise in habitual complaining.<\/p>\n
So this week I want to encourage you to go on a complaining fast. Not because it will make everyone around you happier, although it will, but because it will help you experience more joy, peace, success and positive relationships. Believe me; I know a lot about complaining. I use to be a professional complainer and found that it not only sabotages your happiness and success but the morale of your team and family.<\/p>\n
