Do You Live Your Life With Gucci Problems?

“The house cleaners vacuum is so loud.”

My Director of Sales and I were chatting in our weekly one-on-one complaining about how the cleaner’s vacuum is so loud. “It’s hard to focus,” “I have to leave my office.” Finally, we looked at each other and began to laugh.

We had a Gucci problem.

A Gucci what?

A Gucci problem is when you complain about a luxury acting as if you’re a starving child in a third-world country.

Many people complain about luxury masquerading as a problem. Nobody cares but you. We think we have a problem, when in fact, we have a blessing.

Your $1,000 iPhone is running slow. You have one, don’t you?

The WiFi on your flight to Bali isn’t fast enough. You’re flying across the world, aren’t you?

Look at the things you complain about, and see if they fall into a Gucci problem.

Instead of Gucci, be grateful.

Stop complaining.

Complaining never fixes a problem. It only fuels the emotions you struggle to control. An inconvenience can quickly turn into gratitude. When you’re grateful, everything changes mentally and physically.
