“Complaining”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About”

Air Date Wednesday, August 20, 2025

One of the worst dead-end streets of life one can get trapped in is chronic complaining. Chronic complaining is not only an energy zapper, but it will hold one back from their full potential.

Complaining is a choice that conditions your mind to have a "glass half empty" mentality. It is a total waste of time.

Precious time spent complaining is better invested in seeking alternative options. Separate what you can control from what you cannot control. Don't carry the burden of things you can't change.  

Anxiety, stress, and unhappiness will always follow a chronic complainer.

Christians have been given sound advice on the matter by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 2:14: "Do all things without grumbling or complaining."

And don't forget what famed Basketball Coach John Wooden once said, "Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better."
