Why am I working so much?
Why don’t I have what they have?
Why does my health feel worse today?
Complaining isn’t a strategy of success. (If it’s even a strategy at all)
All complaining will do is keep you from the truth:
What to do.
Anytime I catch myself complaining I feel worse and worse about my what’s happening.
The mind is a powerful force. It can take your vision and make it reality and it can take your nightmare and make it come true.
Not everything will go my way, but that doesn’t mean I’m powerless. It just means I have more growing to do. It means I need to be more aware.
When you are going tough times, be it pain, failure, anxiety, frustration.. complaining will only give you one thing: nothing.
Nothing except exactly the situation you have plus the weight of your negative mental strength pressing down on you.
So what can you do?
Do the opposite of complaining.
Silence your voice, quite your mind, be grateful you’re ALIVE and take small actions one at a time on finding solutions (opportunities) to the problem at hand.
Keep Pursuing,

“Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.”
“What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.”
“See if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.”
