The complaining and excuses, that is. It’s always something.
“I’m tired.”
“It’s too cold.”
“It’s not enough.”
“I can’t work with that.”
“It hurts.”
“I don’t feel good.”
“It’s not my problem.”
“That’s not in my job description.”
Complaining doesn’t help. You know what helps? Taking initiative helps. Being the bigger person helps. Pushing through until it’s done helps. Being a living example to the little ones helps.
Excuses are up there with complaining. It’s a fierce competition between he two. Imagine two people sitting in a park, saying to each other, “I bet I can do nothing better than you! I can give more reasons NOT to do it!” That’s Complaining and Excuses. Pitiful.
Complaining and making excuses is one of the worst things you can do to yourself (and others, because I hate to hear it). It gets you no where. You have a life that is meant for you to delve into and explore! You have the freedom to blossom into whatever suits you. For some, I guess that’s the freedom to do nothing.
Restricting yourself from your potential is like being nonexistent. Really, nobody cares if you mess up and frankly, nobody’s watching. Be the one to step out and try. The one who just goes out and doesn’t give a damn about ‘what if’. The next time you feel an excuse or a complaint coming on, just do what you’re supposed to do. Besides, you never know what adventure it may lead to.
Stop making dumb excuses, as to why you can’t do anything. Stop complaining about why you can’t make it happen. Stop complaining about the other person who’s making it happen. It takes the same amount of energy to just do it, as it does to think up another excuse. You’ll also feel better after you’ve taken action on what needed to be done. Participate in life! You’ll have so many stories to tell and experiences to share. I guarantee, it’ll be quite the thrill. Drink some water and stop the complaining and excuses. It really doesn’t help.
