00:00:00.000 | My most important rule for life, don't complain about anything.
00:00:04.840 | Because when you complain about something, you are just giving too much energy to it.
00:00:09.920 | You're giving too much power to that thing.
00:00:12.380 | And the way to reassume that power is to not allow it to command your mind.
00:00:16.340 | If you can affect the thing, if you have the power to actually change it,
00:00:20.680 | go do something about it.
00:00:21.980 | And if not, you're just giving too much energy spending time thinking about it.
00:00:25.900 | So move on to something that you can actually affect.
00:00:28.900 | Since hearing that, I have tried to adopt it and catch myself anytime I complain like,
00:00:34.780 | "Why? Can I fix this? If I can't fix it, why complain?"
00:00:37.360 | And it's stress.
00:00:38.200 | I mean, it's like, it's the same thing, right?
00:00:39.620 | If I'm not, if I can't change it, I can't impact it in any way, I'm not going to stress about it.
00:00:43.700 | And like everything else, I'm not saying I'm perfect about this.
00:00:46.660 | And I constantly need the reminder in my own head.
00:00:49.380 | But not complaining really will change your life.
