Stop complaining!

Have you ever noticed how it sometimes seems that if you aren’t complaining about something people think everything is OK? It doesn’t matter whether it's your health, your mental outlook, your love life, your friendships - or even your workload.

Is it that people are generally such positive thinkers that we assume everything is OK or could it be that in essence we are that small-minded & perhaps self-absorbed?

If you were to climb a mountain and weren’t out of breath when you reached the summit, would that mean it wasn’t challenging? Visually it may appear that way to those observing you but that may not have been the case at all. It could very well have been for a myriad of reasons such as your training, or the pace you kept. It may have even been because you took a break a few minutes prior to reaching the summit to gain your composure.

If your desk isn’t messy, full of papers and you’re not complaining to the boss or coworkers, does that mean that you don't have enough work to do? Of course not.

Not complaining is simply that – NOT complaining. It’s unfortunate that some people seem to believe that the amount of complaining they do equals the amount of merit their situation warrants.

You never know what mountains people are climbing. Remember how things appear to be may not necessarily be what they are.
