“When you complain, nobody wants to help you.” – Steven Hawking
Complaining is a contagious disease. And the worst part about it – it feels valid. Especially in that precise moment, it always feels justified.
It’s not going to be the small instance today or next week that will make the difference. This disease does not kill overnight. It’s the culmination that will… a death of a thousand cuts. Invisibly day-by-day taking the life and opportunity away from not only us, but those around us.
Complaining doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a conscious choice, every time, which means we can consciously choose to control it.
Never whine, never complain, never make excuses.

“Action is the fundamental key to all success.” – Picasso
There is no substitute for action. This is not breaking news.
Everyone has big plans. Big aspirations. The blueprint to “get there”. As integral as it is to have a plan, this is the easy part. And it’s where most stop, because it’s about to get hard.
A famous old American cartoon, “G.I. Joe”, finished every show with a saying: “Knowing is half the battle”. Despite the right intentions behind it, we recognize now it’s a false statement.
Knowing is not half the battle.
It’s not even a quarter.
It’s the first 10%, if that.
Action is 90%.

“I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying”. – Andy Dufrense, The Shawshank Redemption
Last week, we thought through the meaning of how “Crisis” is written in Chinese. Two symbols, translating to “danger”, and “opportunity”.
A third word to add comes from the Greek “krisis”, where the English word originated from. In Greek, “krisis” translates to “choice”.
Adversity will change us, but how it changes is us the “krisis” – the choice. Are we choosing to learn from our challenges, leading to wisdom, growth, and depth? Or do we choose to become hardened and bitter?
Danger, Opportunity, Choice.
