My Definition of Complaint
Describing an event or person in thoughts or speech negatively without indicating next steps to fix the problem. If you think or say a complaint, then propose a solution immediately or reframe it in an action way. This way, it is not a complaint; it is simply stating a problem and then attempting to find a solution.
Example of complaint:
"Customer service took forever to respond to my problem, and it really messed up my work!"
Reframing:
"I experienced a delay with customer support which disrupted my work. I plan to follow up with them and, if needed, explore alternative support channels to resolve issues more promptly in the future."
My Definition of Excuse
A justification that shifts responsibility away from yourself to explain a failure or inability to meet an obligation or expectation. An excuse removes your agency and power by placing the cause externally rather than acknowledging your choices and capacity to respond differently.
Example of excuse:
"Nothing I do matters because life is just unfair"
Reframing:
"While I can't control everything, I have the power to influence my actions and decisions, which can lead to positive change"
