“It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.” Those words came from a legend and a great coach; Vince Lombardi. 

The world is full of different kinds of people. We have the doers and achievers, the whiners and complainers, and we also have the ones who stand back and criticize both. Which one do you hang around? Each one can be like a magnet and attract like kind people. Who would be the one that will attract to you? 

So many people get caught up in the whining and complaining mode, especially at work. These are the people that can never be happy unless they are whining. Do you get caught doing the same things as them and bring the fiber and moral of the work place down to a dangerous level? I was listening to a friend the other day as he went on and on about how bad his place of work was and how if he was the manager, he would do this and do that. My response was; “seems like you are taking on two roles at work, the complainer and the critic. How do you get your own work done I asked?” The funny thing about our conversation is that he stopped whining instantly and changed the subject.

We have two real choices in life; to get up and do something about our situation or sit back and moan about it. The choice is yours. Here’s a little hint for you; when you become the doer and achiever, you have no time or desire to be the whiner, complainer or the critic. Don’t be the latter because others that are in control of their life are watching and listening and will never come to you for any future opportunity. 

Take an inventory of all the good at work and at home; it will change your perspective and it will help you see much better. Things are not that bad in life when we finally take control. Be wise, be strong and most of all; be a leader! You hold the key!
