Do you get angry when things don&#8217;t go your way?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">If so, you will get a simple yet powerful insight from this article.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The source of this idea is the book &#8220;Discipline Equals Freedom&#8221; by Jocko Willink. <a class=\"ceo-tooltip-top\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/?s=fikir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/?s=fikir\">The idea<\/a> is very simple. Jocko believes it&#8217;s useless to complain when things go wrong, and he says:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;when things go bad, there will be some good things to come from it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">I&#8217;m sure if you&#8217;re reading this article, you know that <a class=\"ceo-tooltip-top\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/three-minutes-of-conversation-that-shows-how-insignificant-what-youre-complaining-is-actually\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/uc-dakikada-sikayete-bakis-acinizi-degistiren-konusma\">complaining<\/a> is a bad thing.

And if you want to stop complaining, you have to approach it like changing a habit.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">So if you get discouraged when things go wrong or you keep complaining about everything that goes wrong, follow this method. It goes on like this.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Whenever something goes wrong, focus on the good things about the situation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">As you can see, Jocko didn&#8217;t openly say he wasn&#8217;t complaining. Instead, he says something good can come out of something bad.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">But that requires you to focus on the good first. How do we do this? Always saying GOOD when something goes wrong.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Jocko gives an example in this regard:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u25cf Ah, that job you wanted at the company was cancelled? Good. We can focus on someone else.<br \/>\n\u25cf Didn&#8217;t get a promotion? Good. This means more time to heal.<br \/>\n\u25cf Is your business unfunded? Good. We own more companies.<br \/>\n\u25cf Not accepted for the job you wanted? Good. Go out, gain more experience, build a better resume.<br \/>\n\u25cf Are you defeated? Good. We learned.<br \/>\n\u25cf Unexpected problems? Good. We have the opportunity to find a solution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">You probably get the idea. Every disadvantage has an advantage.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">If you are thinking about how you can change the way you think, this is an excellent habit to adapt.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1787826683754973\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"1498948880\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice-the-little-things-Emphasize-the-big-things\"><\/span>Practice the little things. Emphasize the big things.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Small things are easy to get over, right? For example, who cares if it rains today? Or did you break your coffee mug? You will get a new one! Anyone can do these little things.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">But the problem is that when big things happen, we completely forget the &#8220;I&#8217;ll never complain again&#8221; attitude. And that&#8217;s definitely a problem!<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">When you want to live a certain lifestyle, you can&#8217;t just do it the way you want.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"2172480693\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">So always be more concerned with big things. How do you stand when there are major failures? Are you still complaining? Or have you trained yourself enough to always focus on the good?<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-5\/y9izm1.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">This will not happen in an instant. It can take a few years on average to get really good at it.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">When you achieve this and things go wrong, you will begin to see this negative state as a trigger to do something else. And the way to create this trigger is the kind of way Jocko formulated it above.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Train-yourself-to-think\"><\/span>Train yourself to think:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">(X is a bad thing) (Y is a good \/ beneficial \/ positive action)<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"><b>Do Y when X.<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">This is not a Nobel Prize winning theory.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">I just found this exercise very helpful.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Keep going until you find something that really works.
