Don't Complain, Don't Explain

  • Don’t explain yourself -your friends and family don’t need it, and your enemies won’t believe it. People understand from their level of perception. So, it’s your fault if you expect a certain level of understanding from everyone. Do what makes you happy; you don’t need others’ approval. If things are not going as planned, then don’t just make excuses. Instead, change your strategy and train hard to get what you want in life.

  • Don’t complain. Complaining is a waste of time and energy, and it doesn’t make anything better. No one likes a complainer, and there is nothing less charming than those who whine about everything. However, it could be satisfying to complain to someone who is listening. If someone needs you, listen and radiate positivity with undivided attention.

  • There are a lot of people who share to show their superiority by talking about themselves. But, not everyone is the same. Most people are genuine and only explain for others to learn and grow. Find them.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
