I'm trying to recall a saying I recently read. It was about motivation and went something like this: "Don't complain about how complex something is, but wish you were smarter."
Does someone know what the saying is?

I can't be sure it's the same saying you're thinking of but your description reminds of something we used to say when people push on a door that is clearly labeled with the word "pull":
You have to be smarter than the door.
