Stop complaining, it doesn’t fix anything.

When things get tough, it’s easy to default to complaining. Especially in a world of social media, airing our frustrations publicly is easier than ever.

But it does nothing to fix the problem at hand. At best, you’ll get a smattering of sympathy. At worst, you’ll spread your negativity to others while doing absolutely nothing to fix your problem.

I get it. I’ve done it countless times. Complaining about your situation is action, so the act itself feels like you’re doing something about it.

But you’re not.

Ask for direct advice, or sit with the problem until you find a solution.

Complaining fixes nothing.
