Co-workers, friends, and family members, they sometimes turn to us for help, and we like to

help when we can. There's only one problem. Sometimes they seem to be asking for help, but they're really looking for a chance to whine.

Winer's are a problem. They're victims. Victims whose whining feeds the gaping void in their souls.

They're coming to you because they want to connect with someone who won't make them more of a victim. And once they connect, they suck out your morale and energy with their

constant complaining. You grow pale and shrivel under their onslaught, while their cheeks

grow rosy and their souls sing, feasting on your precious life force. Plus they're wasting

your time.

This weekend, I spent time with Kelly Sparta, whose business is all about promoting love in the world, and love is the opposite of whining.

Kelly deals with whiners by using the 15-minute rule.

It's a great way to set a boundary while still treating a person

honorably. Tip number one, listen to the whining up to a point. When a whiner shows up,

let them have their time in the sun, well, or rather in the muck of negativity that is their

life. Since they're a relationship you presumably want or need, look at them and think,

this is someone I want to be around and they're sharing what's important to them.

Open your heart, your mind, your ears, listen.

That's the love part.
