Stop complaining. Start doing.
You should stop complaining about your problems. It yields you nothing. It's just a constant waste of energy and time. You could be doing a lot of other things in the meantime.
Complaining doesn’t get you anywhere. Instead, why don’t you accept what has happened and try to do something about it? You have the power to change your situation, but you need to take action.
Stop making excuses and start making progress.
Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius wrote this to himself:
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly… None of them can hurt me. Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people… It will keep you from doing anything useful. Why do you complain rather than act?”
So, stop complaining.
Focus on what you can control and ignore everything that you can't.
And act towards your goals.
