“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?

You Cannot Grow Yourself Without Stretching Yourself

“Stretching always requires change.”

John C. Maxwell

Stretch yourself. You cannot grow yourself without stretching yourself. When you stretch yourself, when you put yourself through an uncomfortable situation, when you do what others are not doing, when you push yourself beyond your normal range, you will grow, you will succeed.

People don’t grow because they don’t want to be uncomfortable. They don’t want to stretch themselves. They want to be safe and comfortable. Remember, no one can grow without leaving where they are, no one can grow without changing how they think, no one can grow without doing the unusual things, no one can grow without taking risks, and no one can grow without stretching his or herself.

“No one can grow without changing how they think.”

If you want to grow, make yourself a lifelong learner. Be a curious person. Be willing to go the extra mile, and don’t be afraid to walk it alone. Stretching is not comfortable, but the fruit is comfortable.

“You will either step forward into growth, or you will step backward into safety.”

Abraham Maslow

If you are not growing, you are dying. If you are not growing, you are shrinking. If you are not growing, you are reducing. If you are not growing, you are declining. If you want real growth in your life, stretch yourself. Do what people say that you cannot do. Push yourself beyond your safety zone. If you do that, growth is within your reach.
