Complaining, At What Cost?
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.

The truth is, complaining isn’t the problem. It’s what happens (or doesn’t happen) after.
