If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it. ~Anthony J. D’Angelo The more you complain, the more you contribute to the problem. The time you spend whining about what went wrong is the same time you could use to improve your life. Invest your energy in the solution, not the problem.
Self-love is key to happiness. A negative self-image will cause you to draw negative people and circumstances into your life. On the other hand, having self-respect will draw positive experiences into your life. The world will only treat you as good as you treat yourself. If you want to attract love, you must start by loving yourself…(kiss the mirror!

Every thought is a seed. –Anon Your attitude can make your whole world a heaven or a hell. You have the power to choose your thoughts. Maintain a positive attitude and give your attention to the things that make you feel good. Attitude is a small thing that makes a BIG difference.
Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. ~Charles Richards Don’t waste your life doing something you don’t enjoy. If it doesn’t make you happy, its not worth it. As we remember the life and contributions of Don Cornelius today, lets not forget to make the most of every moment we are blessed to live.
Northerners often depict the South as backwards and racist. During the Civil Rights Movement, the South gave the North plenty of reasons to feel superior. Snarling dogs, skin bruising water hoses and lynch mobs didn’t help the South’s image. The South’s racism was on full display as African Americans from Virginia to Alabama and beyond fought for equality. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. became the face of the movement. In the South, King spearheaded efforts to integrate public spaces and he fought for voting rights. King, however, didn’t just fight racism in the South. He highlighted racism in the North as well.

In one famous incident, King lead a fight to end housing segregation in Chicago — a mecca for blacks escaping the South. The march didn’t go well. In August 1966, King and his supporters marched in front of more than 4,000 angry white immigrants in southwest Chicago. The white mob called the 800 black marchers “cannibals,” and “savages” and stoned King. He would later say, “I have seen demonstrations in the South, but have never seen anything so hostile and so hateful as I’ve seen here today.” The incident showed that the South wasn’t the only bastion of racism that needed to change. Below are King’s quotes about the fight to end racism everywhere: “Let’s Not Fool Ourselves, we are far from the Promised Land, both north and south.” “Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” Watch this video of King’s “Letter From the Birmingham Jail.”
If you have no will to change it, you have no right to criticize it. ~Author Unknown Sometimes we’re so quick to look down on someone that we become judgmental when we should be helpful. It is better to correct than to criticize. Instead of whining about a problem, DO something to fix it!
“Don’t smother each other, no one can grow in the shade” – Leo Buscaglia Sometimes the best way to “help” someone is to give them space. Conversely, a good way to help yourself is to figure things out on your own. You can’t GROW through life expecting someone to tell you what to do all the time. Don’t “depend” on someone else to bring you success. True growth comes by learning to stand on your own.
Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep. ~Denis Waitley Words mean nothing if they are not backed up with ACTION. If you applied this quote to a relationship, you could look at it this way: the engagement ring is the “promise” but getting married is the “commitment.” You have to apply this same philosophy to your life. Don’t be a Loser. Stop making empty “promises” to yourself. Instead, COMMIT to your success by taking ACTION toward achieving your dreams… (This quote was taken from the book “The Psychology of Winning” by Denis Waitley.)
