Screech

FabrizioLeave a comment

Complaining is a signal that something is bothering us, that something is not working, that something is not as it should be.

And complaining about that one thing should be an activity that is limited in time.

When it’s protracted, it becomes inertia at best, negligence and misconduct in the worst cases.

Taken to the extreme, complaining will become part of a community’s culture. So much so that the object does not matter anymore, and one complains just as a way to fit in and distract.

That’s the danger with many teams.

Not selfish

You owe it to others to spend time with yourself.

You owe it to those you love and to those you engage with. It’s not a selfish act. It helps you to feel confident and comfortable with whoever you are, which is something you ask others to do all the time. In relationships, at work, in casual conversations and encounters.

It starts with you.

A break

A break is not the end.

It’s not a tragedy.

It’s not a bad thing.

It’s not something impossible to fix.

It’s not something to feel guilty about.

It’s not something to make amend for.

A break is just a break. And sometimes, it’s a possible way forward.

Very small step

FabrizioLeave a comment

When something seems to big to tackle, it’s ok to start with just a small part of it.

You don’t have to start with being a content creator, you can start with one post.

You don’t have to get straight into that difficult conversation, you can start by meeting on a different topic.

You don’t have to share the bad news with your dear ones, you can start by spending time with them.

Many hide instead, but there is immense value in starting with a very small step.

The lonely way

People will always try to get things their own way. It’s the shortest path to comfort.

Nobody likes to argue.

Nobody likes to compromise.

Nobody likes to change their mind or their ways.

Nobody likes a difficult conversation.

Nobody likes new.

People will always try to get things their own way, and you will try to get things your own way too.

But there’s no progress with holding onto your way when people around you, repeatedly, say they want something else.

You can still try to get things your way.

And you can go alone.
