There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.

My parents always used to tell us not to complain about things but do something about them, so 'Can't is not an option' was almost a way of life.

I guess I have never been much of a complainer. You just take what is given you, and don't complain about what you can't affect.

I am basically a complainer and all the grounds for complaint have been swept out from under me.

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

Once you're in the presence of people who have put their lives actively on the line, repeatedly, you're never allowed to complain again. And I do, and we all do. But now I look at things a little differently.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.

If anyone ever asked me what I had to complain about it would not have taken long to tell them. Maybe I was just easily pleased.

My core belief is that if you're complaining about something for more than three minutes, two minutes ago you should have done something about it.
