If fish celebrated Christmas, they would need a Christmas tree that worked in their environment. They would need to adapt to the holiday traditions that could work underwater. Whining about traditions and customs that don’t work doesn’t help much.
If a Christmas tree floats, find one that doesn’t!
Yet, how many times are people like the fish in this cartoon? We complain about things that we feel are out of our control instead of doing something about it.
- We can change the situation
- We can find the good side of a problem
- We can find a solution that benefits everyone
- We can let go of a tradition or custom in order to create a new, exciting one
Finding a problem is easy. Finding a solution and doing something about it is powerful.
