I know you do it!
Something happens that you don’t like and you just HAVE to tell somebody about it.
Not just somebody…but EVERYBODY!
Anyone who will listen.
- You tell the clerk while you are at the checkout.
- You call your best friend and complain to them
- You most certainly post about it on Facebook so other complainers can tell you how angry they are and how the same thing has happened to them
- You tell your girlfriend, wife and/or both
- You want to tell your diary but that can get mad with you…but is just as effective as all the others.
You just want you complaint to be heard!
Why?
Who knows! Have you ever noticed how you feel after complaining to one of your friends? You share your terrible story, then they try to top you with and equally terrible story, then you share another….
This goes on and on until you are both whipped up into a frenzy! But do you actually ever do anything about it???
NO!
It is so much easier to piss and moan than it is to actually get off you ass and change what you are complaining about!
So this is not going to be your typical “Feel-Good” list of motivational quotes. This is meant to show you who is the only one who can really make a difference in your life
YOU!

Stop and think: what benefits do you always receive from complaining about something that has already happend?
You get to relive the experience again like it just happened. You get to feel the pain and emotion each and every time you share the story. You even get to spread the anger you are feeling to your loved ones you are forcing to listen to you. I bet you are a blast at the holidays!

Listening to too much complaining is bad for your brain in multiple ways. . . .
“The brain works more like a muscle than we thought,” Blake says. “So if you’re pinned in a corner for too long listening to someone being negative, you’re more likely to behave that way as well.”
Even worse, being exposed to too much complaining can actually make you dumb. Research shows that exposure to 30 minutes or more of negativity–including viewing such material on TV–actually peels away neurons in the brain’s hippocampus. “That’s the part of your brain you need for problem solving,” he says. “Basically, it turns your brain to mush.”

The most valuable thing you have on this earth is your time. You need to treat it as precious as a mother protecting it’s newborn child. You feed it. You nourish it. You only want the best for it.
And when the time comes you want to look back and say I made the absolute best of it.
How much more time would you waste on complaining.
Protect your time by spending in only the best ways imaginable!
Any guys that says otherwise is either lying . . . or dead inside from to much World of Warcraft video gaming.
