Problems Are A Dime A Dozen
Some folks can’t help but complain, identify problems, and find fault. We all have known someone like this. It’s not necessarily that they’re wrong in their observations, but problems are a dime a dozen, and it’s all too easy for them to criticize and see blemishes in everything.
Their habitual pessimism and worrying can be insidious. You could be having a great day or a positive experience, and a single negative comment from the habitual pessimist could ruin your mood if you allow it.
Relationships are almost literally magnetic, and misery does, in fact, love company. So be on guard if you must be around someone who’s always complaining or worrying. They’re entitled to their opinions, but you’d be wise to hold them at arm’s length. Be intentional about who you keep in your life, and spend your time with people who are constructive and offer solutions instead.
Your thoughts produce the outcomes in your life. The same can be said of your relationships. They’re correlated in the same direction, and either one of those factors can taint or enrich the other. Be the person who seeks solutions.
Sayonara until next time.
