Whiners Don’t Make History
Summary
- I believe you can choose to be either the Damsel in Distress or the hero in your own story.
- You have a choice: you can wait for things to get better, or you can fight and take action.
- Remember, tales of victims aren't usually remembered in history. It's the winners who make history.
- At the end of the day, this is your story, and how it goes is up to you.

How To Take Action
I suggest you start by changing your mindset. Choose to be the hero, not the Damsel in Distress. Think of every challenge as a chance to be the winner in your story.
A good way to do this is by setting clear goals. Break big goals into smaller, manageable tasks. This way, you fight the feeling of waiting and take real action every day. Celebrate small wins to keep up your energy and motivation.
Another practical step is to develop a problem-solving attitude. When things get tough, ask yourself, "What can I do about this?" and then take that first step, no matter how small. Keeping a journal can help track your progress and reflect on challenges and victories.
Make learning a daily habit. Read books, listen to podcasts, or follow thought leaders that inspire you to think and act like a winner. It can be done in small pockets of your day, like during a commute or while exercising.
Lastly, surround yourself with people who lift you up. Find mentors or join groups where positivity and growth are the norms. The right environment can make choosing to fight instead of waiting a lot easier. Remember, the story you tell yourself becomes the reality you live, so craft it wisely.
