Hello #Hive friends it's a pleasure to greet you and share my entry for the week engagement topics proposed by @galenkp, for my entry I will answer question number 3:
Do you think you complain too much and that it prevents positive progress? Explain it.
I have always thought that looking on the bright side of life or the day we start is the best way to have a productive day and achieve to realize the plans we have in mind for a certain day, yesterday for example we had planned to visit some friends friends and bring a meal to share, I got up early to prepare the food and while cooking I could see through the window that it was raining, even so I continued preparing the food with the hope that it would stop raining very soon so we could go out and visit our friends, the rain lasted until the afternoon hours, when I saw that it was not possible to go out I stayed calm, and instead of complaining or looking for so many arguments, like; I had planned everything to go out, it was a good day to go out because there were no school activities, besides my son is on vacation, it could be a great day to go to the beach, among other arguments and believe me there are many that I could look for.
Instead, I opted to make new plans at home and not just think about myself, I had plans to go out, but maybe other people needed some rain for their planting, to refresh the place, among other things, my only concern was that the food would not be damaged because I made triple the amount we eat at home, since I cooked early, with that food we had breakfast, lunch and a little bit left for dinner, really my concern was that the food would not be damaged, then I stayed finishing some sewing projects, watching some movies and resting.
Particularly I have never liked complaints, in fact I had the opportunity to share residence with a young woman who literally complained about everything, if it rained she complained, if it was sunny she complained and if the wind was too strong or vice versa too, every day was a constant complaint and I also joined this chain of complaints.
I think that listening to so much complaining or maybe unconsciously I joined in this practice of constant complaining, until one day listening to her complaining as she always did, I reacted and it bothered me, in fact I left the place where she was and retired to my room, there I reflected a little and said _ I don't have to bother myself, if I have also fallen into the same thing, I complain about everything, this led me to reflect and ask myself the following, if complaining were to solve everything it would be wonderful, but it is not like that, things happen for a reason and there are situations that are beyond our control.
If I could not leave or can not do errands can be done the next day, of course without taking the events or unforeseen situations as an excuse for not fulfilling commitments and responsibilities, instead of complaining I think the best thing is to thank, it would be great if when complaining, as if by magic everything had a solution, since that situation with my roommate I have chosen to apply this phrase; “More gratitude and less complaining”, I also think that complaining prevents positive progress, maybe I do not have the appropriate hypothesis, but I know people who complain about everything and their progress is not very good to say, from that premise I try to see situations from another perspective and focus on what is possible, although there are plans and goals for which we must work hard and I do not mean by this that I should leave them aside, on the contrary I must strive to achieve it without complaining.
