This is where you stick random tidbits of information about yourself.

Could you stop complaining for 21 days?
About anything.
No complaining about anything.
Even internally.

I was watching Oprah last nite, and she had a pastor as her guest. He has challenged his congregation to stop complaining for 21 days. He took on the challenge himself, and to help his congregation, he gave them all these purple rubber bracelets, all part his campaign to create
A Complaint Free World.

Here’s how it works. You wear the bracelet, and any time you catch yourself complaining, about anything, you move the bracelet to the other wrist. The goal is to go 21 days with that bracelet on one wrist, which means you haven’t complained in 21 days.

He said:
1.Complaining is like bad breath. You notice it when it comes out of somebody else's mouth, but not when it comes out of your own.
2.The main reason people complain is to excuse themselves from taking action. People encounter things they don't like and they complain because it's easier than finding a solution.
3. They complain as a way of bragging or showing their sophistication.

Oprah immediately knew whom she wanted to give the barcelet after she interviewed the pastor & it was her personal makeup artist, who bitches, whines and complains all the time.

I would really like my friends to take up this challenge and i have some names in mind already...yes the bird, the fish and you..hehe..Well, we could put on our most expensive watch in place of the purple bracelet, & move it to the other wrist everytime we complain or bitch.. READY??

This campaign reminded me of Maya Angelou, a great poet who is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary literature.

She said,

"If you don't like something, change it.

If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Don't complain."
