Whining Vs. Deciding

"It is easier to whine than to decide. " Laurie Beth Jones, Author of Jesus CEO

How true this is! How often have you found yourself beginning to complain about something in your life, rather than doing something about it?

• "The house is a mess." Sigh. vs. "Time to clean up the house!"
• "I'll never lose weight." vs.  "I am going to take a walk," or,  "I don't need that piece of cake."
• "No one likes me!" vs.  "I think I'll invite that new gal at church out for coffee."
• "I'll never get all this work done." vs. "I will concentrate on one project today and get it finished."
• "I don't have any money." vs. "That's it.  I'm not using this credit card again."

 Question: In what ways have you caught yourself whining rather than deciding?
