Complaining begets and perpetuates complaining.
And in this industry, it’s rampant.
Complaining most often deflects responsibility rather than taking it.
And it just keeps going because when you complain, your buddy says “yeah you’re right” (perpetuating)…instead of “shut up, stop complaining”.

There are two main ways to reduce sickness.
1. Reduce the amount to toxins that come in contact with you
2. Strengthen your immune system
The complainer is in love with #1, because that way it’s everyone else’s fault, it’s the world’s fault. And they think they can’t change #2.
The true champion knows to focus on #2, while being mindful of #1.

Stop complaining.
Keep looking for the responsibility…it might be hiding. It might be that you want it to be hiding. But keep looking for it, finding it, and taking it.
And when you hear someone else complaining, show them an unusually high level of kindness and reply “shut up, stop complaining”.
