We all complain—but do we ever really do anything about it? I’m guilty of it. Guilty as charged. Complaining can serve as a spark, an outlet, even a way to talk yourself into solutions. But too often it becomes a cycle: same gripe, different day, no action. I’ve caught myself turning friends into free therapists, replaying the same story on a loop until even I’m tired of hearing it. The truth is, complaining isn’t the problem. It’s what happens (or doesn’t happen) after.
