I love this attitude! Don't just sit back and let things happen to you. This is what complainers and collectivists do and think. Instead, take decisive results-driven action. Things aren't going your way? Sorry. Welcome to Planet Earth! Instead of complaining, develop your plan of action based on evidence and research. Then implement and execute that plan to get the results you need. I'm thinking that Leonard Da Vinci would be giving you a "thumbs up" on that one! What do you think? - Terry Brock

I like what you say, @alexa.janell. Being quiet and going within ourselves is a real source of strength. Then we get the ideas and implement into action. Thank you for your kind words!

I work with a few bellyachers at work. They find a way to whine about anything. I try to stay away from them.

Thanks for this post of yours. I think we all need this from time to time. Right now I do. Enough complaining, do what you can for what you have, or something like that, a quote from someone I can't remember. Have a wonderful day!

Yep! I think the quote you're looking for is the one from Teddy Roosevelt, "Do what you can with what you've got right where you are." That is profound and amazing.

We must have the preparation to face any challenge. Planning is the first part and then the execution. Often you don't even get the chance to plan things. Executing what you think of instantly becomes the best way! Nice reading... :D

Great philosophy to live by to accomplish things that seem impossible at first, obstacles have a way of deterring project completions. I think you have a typo in the title, you forgot the word "not".

Yes that is the way i strive. If i'm not doing anything i feel like a bum. But he is right if you want something you got to get up off your donkey, lol.

Yes! Getting "off that donkey" (clever!) is a good way to make it happen. Thank you for the message, @cptsilva.

This is something I've been working on for the last month. Trying to get rid of a collectivist & victim mentality has been the best thing I have ever done. I'm no longer a slave to my thoughts and I can let negative things that happen go so much easier with a positive mentality and a plan of action!
