How to Take Action Towards Your Goals When You Really Want to Complain Instead
Hint: It’s not about finding the motivation . . .
I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand complainers.
Want to know why? It’s because they bring the energy of the room down with them and lack the guts to go after what they want.
Want some lunch?
My stomach hurts.
Want to take a walk?
It’s too hot outside.
Want to play a game?
I’m not in the mood.
Sometimes though, when I’m in “a mood”, I’ll start complaining about everything too.
Before I sat down to write this story, want to know what I thought? “I don’t feel like it.” “I’m not in the mood to write.” “I’d rather do something else.”
There I am, a self-professed go-getter, complaining about a story I actually do want to write. Ah, such is life.
Eventually, I reminded myself that the sooner I sit down to write, the sooner I’ll feel like writing. I know from past experiences that when I start to do something, even for five minutes, my emotions usually have a chance to catch up with me.
