We’ve all complained about something. Whether it be about a relationship (romantic, friend, relative, or colleague), a job, or whatever, it’s normal to vent, but when does complaining become too much? How can you be happy if you’re always complaining?
Typically referring to employment, an opportunity is a chance to make (more) money, to do something you enjoy, or to experience something new. When opportunity knocks, do you say yes or no to it?
A friend recently asked if I had advice for choosing between two things that have their set of pros and cons. I assumed it was work-related since she's currently looking for a job. Not knowing the context or what the choices were, I gave her general advice.
My former philosophy teacher used to say, “Don’t should yourself.” It sounds funny but is good advice. Something that I thought of when I read a passage of Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Yourself.
In my friend Cheli’s Inspired Mondays post, “Ego Vs. Creativity,” she advises, “Don’t be your own obstacle.” She also explains how “the Ego thrives on labels” and how it "ultimately ‘dumbs’ down authentic self expression and creativity.”
