Winning is a habit. Watch your thoughts, they become your beliefs. Watch your beliefs, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. ~Vince Lombardi

A Week Without Complaining?
By Peggy Parks of The Parks Image Group
Recently I was visiting with some friends and, though I was having a great time, I must have felt frustrated by the weather, feeling tired, and everything else on my plate. Well, let me tell you that it didn’t go unnoticed. When I spoke up to quibble about some minor irritation, my friend pointed out that I’d been complaining about every little thing! Her comment took me aback, but I realized that my petty whines had made it seem like I was totally miserable. Not exactly good company, huh?
Inspired by that “wake up call” and a few bloggers that I’ve read about, I’m pledging to go complaint-free for a full week. Care to join me? Sometimes we don’t realize that letting little things getting under our skin and moaning about it makes us appear unhappy, unpleasant, and even rude. The neighbor is being too loud? If it’s not interrupting your sleep, let it slide. The restaurant is out of the dish you specifically came to eat? Try something else. You’re too busy? Take a deep breath, count to 10, and remember that some people don’t have jobs or families to keep them occupied.
I’m looking forward to biting my tongue, shrugging off those little irritations, and engaging in conversations that are more positive, upbeat, and meaningful. It’s a great way to focus on the moment and be grateful for the things that are going right, not the things that are going wrong.
Now, who’s with me?

Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings. ~André Maurois, French author

Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone. ~G.B. Stern
Or, in other words…A sincere heartfelt “thank you” results in everyone feeling good…the simple act of saying thank you leaves the receiver feeling appreciated and the giver feeling good by expressing his or her gratitude.
