Put an end to whining & grumbling!
People differ in how they deal with today's VUCA world, the mega trends, crises, the weather, the future, etc. Some people regard their "problems & worries" as a purely private matter that only concerns them and that they want to deal with alone. Other people, on the other hand, share their "problems & worries" ‒ or what they consider to be such ‒ with those around them: whining & grumbling is an essential part of their life.

Only action and the will to change will bring about something for the better!
Whining or grumbling every now & then about certain situations or issues that you don't like can be relieving and make everything a little "easier". However, if you notice that you very often make whining & grumbling the content of conversations, or that you frequently grumble with fate, then you should change this or accept the consequences for your life.
