| Stop complaining about your circumstances
It's extremely rare to find a successful person who whines, complains, and frets about his circumstances. This is despite the fact that he may have overcome great obstacles to achieve his level of success. On the other hand, it's extremely common for struggling individuals to continually blame their circumstances for their lack of joy and happiness.
The real question is: what came first – the attitude or the success? The answer, in virtually all cases, is that the winning, positive attitude came first, followed by a lifetime of success.
All it takes is a simple decision; the decision to stop yourself from falling into the habit of complaining about your circumstances. At first it may be difficult – even funny – to observe how often you complain.
Habits can be hard to break. But in this case, it's well worth the effort. As an excuse of complaint comes to mind, gently shoo it away. Don't worry about it too much. You'll quickly get used to the nicer feelings that come from a life without complaints. |
