How to Stop Complaining

Summary: Any attitude where you blame something external is the main problem. Only YOU should control all things related to work, life, and people. Don’t like mondays? Make your life more exciting.

Have you ever heard someone say; 

“OMG! Dude I hate Mondays!”

What about;

“WTF! That is such a hard problem to solve! Impossible!”

These type of attitudes have found their way into our everyday conversations.

On the surface they may seem pretty harmless, however, when you agree with them it may subconsciously enforce bad behavior in you.

Other person: “Ah! I hate Mondays mornings”

You:“Yeah! I know what you mean!”

Noticed what happened there?

You completely let the negative things affect your mindset or vice-versa.

Such thoughts make you blame external things such as mondays, bosses, norms, and people.
