“If you don't like something change it.
If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Don't complain."

On this morning's Today Show, there was a story about a Church that started a "campaign" called A Complaint Free World. I loved the idea and requested a free bracelet. I will not wait to receive it to start trying to be complaint-free, as well as no criticizing, no gossiping, no sarcasm, for 21 days. (the time it is believed it takes to establish a new habit)
My biggest source of complaints is when I drive. The way some people drive just makes me mad. Don't signal, don't stop fully at a stop sign, drive over the yellow and white lines, don't stop fully at a red light before turning right, etc. What good does it do for me to get pissed about it? They can't hear me. I can only control my driving. It just brings on negative feelings and I guess a sense of superiority. Both are not good.
The idea is to wear the bracelet and when you complain, criticize, gossip, or use sarcasm, you switch wrists. I love it!
Ciao for Now.
