Is there anything more frustrating than someone who complains but won’t make adjustments to fix the problem?
I’ll give you an example. The other day, DH walks by and says he needs a hole in between two of the holes on his belt. He’s said this many times before. I always say something like “I have a leather punch. We can make that happen.”
Well, that day, I’d had enough. So I hunted down my leather punch and told him to give me his belt.
“I don’t want a new hole. This is my favorite belt.”
Imagine the death glare I gave him.
He tries to explain something that that’s inexplicable to me and I told him not to talk to me. Yeah. I was steamed. I’d just spent 10 minutes lifting heavy tank trunks full of old horse gear hunting down the tool that would FIX his problem.
But he didn’t really want the problem fixed. He just wanted to comment about it and complain about it. Until the end of time.
So let this be a note… think hard. Do you have a behavior you complain about but are unwilling to change? Perhaps it’s time to stop complaining and starting changing.
Tired of being overweight? Today is as good as any to go for a long walk or exercise in whatever way works for you.
Tired of feeling lonely? Volunteer. Join an organization. Try Meetup.com to make friends.
Sick of your disorganized closet? Donate clothes to a women’s shelter and get yourself some drawer organizers.
Whatever it is that’s holding you back, whatever it is that acts like a burr in your saddle pad, whatever causes friction in your life…
Make a change.
