And then, if you get lucky, hey, you're even better off. Learn to ignore the things you can have no control over. Mental strength is like muscle strength--no one has an unlimited supply. So why waste your power on things you can't control? For some people, it's politics. For others, it's family. For others, it's global warming. Whatever it is, you care, and you want others to care. Do what you can do: Lend a listening ear.
Recycle, and reduce your carbon footprint. Do what you can do. Be your own change--but don't try to make everyone else change. Don't resent but instead celebrate the success of others. Many people--I guarantee you know at least a few--see success as a zero-sum game: There's only so much to go around.
When someone else shines, they think that diminishes the light from their stars. Resentment sucks up a massive amount of mental energy--energy better applied elsewhere.

When a friend does something awesome, that doesn't preclude you from doing something awesome. In fact, where success is concerned, birds of a feather tend to flock together--so draw your successful friends even closer. Create and celebrate awesomeness, wherever you find it, and in time you'll find even more of it in yourself. Never stoop to complaining, criticizing, or whining. Your words have power, especially over you. Whining about your problems always makes you feel worse, not better. So if something is wrong, don't waste time complaining. Put that mental energy into making the situation better.
Unless you want to whine about it forever, eventually you'll have to make it better.
The Character of Determination
So why waste time? Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which is good and well pleasing to God; but that state was mutable, or changeable, so that he was able to fall from it. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, has entirely lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation; therefore, as a natural man, being altogether averse to that good, and dead in sin, he is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself or to prepare himself for salvation.
When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, He frees him from his natural bondage under sin, and by His grace alone enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good; yet, by reason of his remaining corruption, he also wills that which is evil. The will of man is made perfectly and immutably free to do good alone in the state of glory only.
Determination
Any study of the will of man is incomplete without some explanation of the difference between free will and free agency. Man is only free to act according to his nature, and he was born with a sinful nature see Ps. We must, in all candor, acknowledge these apparent contradictions. They deserve some serious, thoughtful consideration. There are some who deny this upon the grounds that man does not have the spiritual ability to believe in Jesus.

There are many things which men ought to do which they have now lost the moral and spiritual though not the physical power to do. A man ought to be chaste; but if he has been so long immoral that he cannot restrain his passions, he is not therefore free from the obligation.
It is the duty of a debtor to pay his debts; but if he has been such a spendthrift that he has brought himself into hopeless poverty, he is not exonerated from his debts on account of his inability to pay. Every man ought to believe that which is true, but if his mind has become so depraved that he loves a lie and will not receive the truth, is he therefore excused?
