YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST

It is only in rare instances that you will be the first to do what you are committed to now. So, to be brutally frank, if it is getting harder, stop complaining and find solutions—you are not the first to do this!

Many have normalized complaining—and they do so about everything and anything. They make it seem like the world is upon them and that, they are engaged in rocket science discovery.?

They focus and prioritize complaining rather than working. They spend time devising reasons why things are not working for them instead of fashioning solutions. Some have even composed their own comforting songs, phrases, and slogans.?

But when you inquire and critically examine their commitments, it becomes obvious that their energies are being spent on the wrong things.?

Everything demands hard work and is the only way to get results.?

So, chill. Stop yelling and complaining about your work and life. Life is full of struggles, and you are not alone. You are not the first and won’t be the last. Focus on things that work - complaining is not one of them.?

While you are complaining, others are succeeding. So, what is the point? Spend your time wisely; that’s how the celebrated ones made it out of the difficult times.?

Yes, complaining eats up the soul and makes one stagnant. Time to refocus the energy.
