Some times we gotta whine?

The Law of Attraction at work...

The Law of Attraction states that whatever we're focusing on we attract more of to ourselves.

This is why whining is counter-productive for all parties. Not only is the speaker attracting more situations to themself to whine about, so are all the listeners!

In order to help a whiner, bring their attention away from what they are whining about and around to what they do want. Say something like, "Wow, I'm sorry you're having a bad day, what would make it better?"

Remember, power is in the now, not in the past, and by focusing on the positive, we can undo much of the negative in our lives.

Concentrate on what you want, not what is.

Ciao for now.

I like to add

Sometimes what people whine about are nothing to whine about in the first place.  I know people who have PHD's in whining.  The tears in their eyes keeps them from seeing clearly because the solution to their problem might be in front of them.  This is what seperates leaders from distributors.  Whiners vs Problem solvers.

Great question!

Juanita you must have ESP.  I just hung up the phone with what I thought could be a potential partner. She was whining about every thing under the sun!  I made several attempts to "remove the bug" that was blinding her from getting what said she "needed & wanted" She still whined.  The end of the call, I advised that she does not meet the qualifications of becoming my partner.  I signed her up as a customer.  I hope she does not whine about the product :-)

Everything is not for everybody, some people all they know is to whine.  Thanks to our Government.  But, that's another topic.

Have a Great Day!  Great post!

My thoughts on winning...

Hi Juanita,

    Nice topic you touched on! I think whinning is a sign of someone choosing to be a "Victim", yes I said choosing. Everyone of us go through rough times and during those times we have choices on how we react to the more unpleasent situations. They can choose to draw pity from others and bemoan their luck OR they can go about concentrating on ways to start changing the situation. I think whinning about things serves no purpose! Think about it, no matter what the issue or situation is, the only one with the ability to change it is that person! You can suggest options, give advise etc... but then its still up to them to take positive actions to correct the problem. Mostly though, whinning can easley infect the mood of everyone around that person and can steal a good mood from you! I say start giving a whinner advise immediatly and get them to take control of their life, the situation and their choices!

Just something to think about!

Whiners

Whinners are whinners because in the past it has brought others down to there level. the majority of people in this world don't want others to do better than what they are doing. So instead of working to imporve themselves they work on bringing  down the ones that are trying to improve themselves.

I never got anything for whining, and I do not give when people whine to me. It actually irritates me in the fact that I would have to whine to someone about a whiner. Something that I was taught on raising kids is that you let them know that they are whining and you ignore them until they are ready to talk. Now I’m not saying go ignore your one, two or even three year old. This applies to the older ones. As for adults I am sure that they would get the picture once you laid it out for them.
