I like to think that a lot of people are so comfortable with complaining about any and every single bad experience or situation that they find themselves in. Somehow, this makes it seem as though they're averse to finding solutions, even to the things within their control.
We can often see this in a simple case. For example, a person who complains a lot about the lack of jobs in their region and the little to no opportunities for creatives. Yet, you'd realise that many of them aren't employable. Some haven't even made an attempt to upskill in their area of interest. It's as though they enjoy complaining more than doing the hard work required to gain access into the spaces they desire.
This is not to discredit the fact that there aren't enough employment opportunities or to dunk on those who actually do put in maximum effort while watching it amount to nothing. I admit that such situations are largely tied to the failures of the government. However, I am speaking directly about people who think everything can be made easy by simply complaining.
If anything, complaining does absolutely nothing. If you want something badly, you have to act like it. Chase it like your life depends on it, and even when it gets frustrating, you tell yourself that giving up isn't the solution. And I say this as someone who also procrastinates over some of the things I would like to achieve. Although I could link a major part of that behaviour to a recent diagnosis, I still like to remain self-aware of my constraints and the role I play in keeping myself below average. Frankly, I think everyone should too.
Life will rarely be easy. But it's up to us to keep finding solutions to our daily problems because that truly is the only way to stay aabreast while doing this thing called life.
PS: I did find the cover image funny, and somehow thought it matched the expression conveyed in this post. LOL! But that's if you were wondering...
