Complaints

I will not be as those who spend the day 

in complaining of headache, 

and the night in drinking 

the wine that gives it.  

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Complaints
We all have a million things we could complain about BUT we also have a million things we could be happy and grateful for.  Complaining does nothing for your soul ~ nothing!  It does not help a situation, it does not enrich your life and it certainly doesn't make someone else's day any better.  So before you start on the negative train, think about why you feel a need to go there.  Maybe it's easier than looking at the things that are going well in your life but really, that's just being lazy.  Realize that when you are negative and complain, you create an energy around you that becomes toxic, to you and others.  That certainly isn't worth it!  Now, that doesn't mean you can't complain every now and again, that's being human, but when you make it your daily business to find everything negative with your life and the world, I challenge you to change your perspective.  You'll be amazed how much less there is to complain about when you stop looking for the bad and start looking for the good.  You just might make some more friends along the way too!
