Catch yourself complaining and stop it.
Anytime you are talking about how helpless you are in any situation or blaming others for any situation, catch yourself quickly and ask, “What can I do to own this situation?”
This is why I find the Stockdale Paradox powerful.
Simply put, “You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” – James Stockdale
There is a lot that is not within our control and it is easy to just sit and wait for a lucky break. But there is value in owning your present, in spite of what it presents.
