Do You Complain More Than You Encourage?

15 years ago

Well if we are on the honest aspect then yes, I would probably say I complain way more than I encourage. And as I'm writing this I am remembering all the things I have just complained about today - which sadly, in the grand scheme of things, is very poor compared to those without food, water, or shelter.

My advice to you is to look at the bigger picture of things. Think about how much better you have then lets say people in Kenya, Africa who will never know what it feels like to have 90% of the things we call 'standard'

Thanks

Good points, it does help put things in perspective, the things we throw in the trash would probably be luxuries for half the people on the planet. God Bless America!

Actually, I do complain more than encourage and funny thing is, I made my complain to myself most of the time. Since I usually had some experiences that I had to ask myself why did I made that decision or why people are doing that action. Small things to ponder and usually, I learn from what has happened in that day and will try to improve on the following day.

You can keep track of your personal productivity in this way:

E/ C = encourage over complain ratio. complain less, and you have a higher score. keep track of things that you say.

You must actively keep track of things you say for this to work. have fun

I have grown to a level where I do not complain about anything anymore. My wife used to be amazed about this. I read the Bible several times over, and it has made alot of tremendous impact in my life. The key here is faith(prevailing faith). Work in faith, you will know no complaints anymore. You will begin to understand that you are the master of your own life and you ar the architect of your own misfortune.

It's interesting to hear that you don't complain about anything anymore. And that brings me to this question, do people sometimes mistake that for you not caring?

Complain or Encourage, 2 sides of the same coin.
I do complain, but not too much. Its bad for my heart.
Encouraging someone, with practice, is very..aa.. encouraging

I've become very good at caring only about what really matters (my attitude, my state of being, my perspective) that's why I can help & encourage very often.

I try to never complain but only find things to appreciate in what I have to give my attention to. It makes life so easy...sometimes I can't help it but complain when things are just WRONG. Lol...they never are but I see them that way.

So get back to feeling better, better, better and soon again I'm frisky and ready to rock&roll again

Having a strong faith really, really helps! It let's you never give up and get into that complaining victim mode. I never want to be a victim ever again of anything!

Thanks

I am doing better at the encouraging / complaining ratio but I still complain too much. It is a character trait that I find even more annoying in me than I do in other people so I really need to stop!

I wasn't quite sure if you mean complaining or encouraging to others or just yourself since there could be a difference. But as for general personal shift towards a better attitude, it helps to get in with a group of people who already exhibit the character traits you want to emulate. So in your case, stay away from complainers and spend more time with positive encouraging people since the energy starts flowing around.

Outwardly, I complain a lot. I do it because I see a lot of things going wrong that others don't. This trait gives me the responsibility to bring these problems to light. I also tend to be introverted from time to time so there are a plethora of people around me who can do a better job of encouragement.

Thanks

I always think that i'm not but I actually complain a lot.

It is quite annoying at times but it opens my eyes when my wife tells me off on complaining all the time

Sometimes, I complain but even if rarely, I encourage as well. The best way to do it is; if you are miserable, think of those who are way beyond your level too! They might be crippled, without food, shelter or clothes. It goes beyond saying that unless you know the pains of others, your would seem like the only greatest ones!

Thanks
