One of the weaknesses we have in Africa is complaining and lamenting.
We complain about the economy, politics, and almost everything around us or happening to us. We complain when our businesses are not working and even when others don't do for us what we expect of them. Complaining is fast becoming a mode of life for some. They complain and blame everyone except themselves.
Get it today from me: Complaining and lamentation sometimes blind us from seeing greater opportunities, even in the challenges we face. They take more energy than we can ever imagine, coupled with the related stress.
I know we are all humans and can sometimes be carried by emotions, but we must also be conscious that complaining or lamentations would never solve any problem we may be facing.

Instead of allowing complaining to veil our eyes from perceiving opportunities, we should rather reflect beyond the problems or challenges we may be facing to perceive the opportunities involved because every challenge comes with an opportunity.
Find the opportunities in every challenge you face and focus on making good use of them.
Whatever you may be facing today is going to make you stronger,
and you are stronger than it.
Complaining makes you weaker in the challenges that you may be facing, and even the Bible, in Philippians 2:14, tells us to do everything without complaining.
You must not complain about everything, especially when
you are doing very little to change the situation.
