“People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.”-

Stephen Hawking, theoretical physicist

It is easier to complain about everything than to take responsibility for everything. Stop complaining about what is not working for you. Stop focusing on the negative things in your life. We all have things to think about. But how we think about them is what make all the difference.

Stop complaining. You can change that. You have the power to do it. According to Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Yes, be the change you want to see in your life. If you don’t make the decision to change, to stop complaining, to start living, you are not going to move forward in your life. If you keep complaining about your life, you health, your work, your boss, where you are, you won’t get to your destination. Because the more you complain, the less you get. The more you complain, the more you will have to complain about.

The more you complain, the less you get. But the less you complain, the more you get. Look, my friend, don’t complain. It is not helping you. It is stealing your happiness away. You can’t be happy and complain at the same time. Be a happy person.

Instead of complaining about everything that is working or not working in your life, why not focus on what is working for you in your life. Whether you want to admit it or not, you have lots of things that are working for you. Write down the things that are working for you and celebrate them every day. The more you celebrate them, the more you will have to celebrate. Don’t be a complainer, be a celebrity.

If you want to stop complaining, you must focus your thoughts on the good things in your life. Don’t complain about anything. No matter what is happening in your life, don’t see yourself as a loser, see yourself as a warrior. You are not a victim, but a victor. You must accept your situation for what it is. Don’t try to change what you can’t change. Don’t complain about what you can’t change. What will change will change. What will not change will not change. So why are you complaining about the unchangeable?

Instead of complaining about your failures, take responsibility for your life, for your failures, for your challenges, and for your greatness. It is your life. You can make it how you want it. If you want to live your life to the fullest, complaining is not the way. Complainers never win. If you want to win, stop complaining. Are you ready to do that?

“Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.”-Katherine Mansfield

Why are you regretting your past? You are not alone. We have all done things that we are not proud of. We have all done things that we are not comfortable talking about. Are you going to allow your past to take charge of your life, or are you going to take charge of your life?

If you want to live a beautiful life, you must control your own life. You must control your own happiness. You must control your own mind. This is important. He who controls his or her mind controls everything.

Look, my friend, your past is not to regret, your past is to celebrate. Your past should be your right hand teacher. Your past should be your teacher. Why is that? You have made some pretty good decisions in the past. And also you have made some terrible decisions in the past. You can learn from them. Your past is your past. Accept it. Celebrate it. Learn from it.

When you keep worrying about your past, you are not helping yourself, you are hurting yourself. You are hurting yourself; you can no longer focus on the present. You can no longer focus on yourself- your life, your happiness, your health, your relationships, your career.

Remember, you don’t live in the past, you live in the present. You dream in the present. You set goals in the present. You attend your job interview in the present. You fall in love in the present. You kiss in the present. You travel to other countries in the present. So, my friend, why the heck are you worrying about yesterday?

Let us talk sense here. Can you bring yesterday back? If you are honest with yourself, the answer is a big no. Your focus should be how to move forward, not how to move backward. If you have made the decision to move forward, now is the time to start doing things right. Work in the now. Love in the now. Plan in the now. Think in the now. Enjoy in the now.

If you don’t focus on your NOW, you will not have tomorrow that you are fighting to have. What you are doing right now will determine how you are going to live your life tomorrow. So to have a better tomorrow, maintain a better today. Don’t worry about anything, plan for everything.
