Complaining, criticising and judging are probably the biggest drains on our energy. They give us instant gratification, but they don’t solve anything.

For T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, complaining is what leads you to failure and misery, because you’re denying reality.

If you’re going through a rough patch, if you’re thinking about making changes in your life, or if you know you need a change but can’t find the courage to make it, none of this is probably news to you. But it doesn’t hurt to hear it as many times as necessary, until you come to believe that you are the owner and the driver of your life, and that you are the one who shapes your destiny. No excuses.
