See if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech
or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what
other people do or say, your surroundings, your life
situation, even the weather. 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.
