30 day challenge: no complaints.

it's easy to complain.

we could complain about the weather, 

complain about our homework assignments,

complain about that long day at work, 

complain about other people. 

etc. etc. etc. 

but we can't change the weather.

there's a reason we do work.

and other people don't deserve to be judged & complained about. 

so why whine about all the things we whine about 

when we could choose to point out all the good things instead? 

i'm wondering: what would it be like if we all went 30 days without complaining?  

it might be hard to break the habit at first.

-no more pessimistic facebook status updates

-no more talking about how _____ ticked us off/hurt our feelings/offended us today

-no more wishing away the day, hoping that something better might come along tomorrow

(you get the idea) 

maybe by the end of that 30 days, we would like ourselves better.

we'd start accepting the things we can't change

and changing the things we can--

as opposed to being babies about things that don't go our way.

so my challenge for myself 

is to choose to be optimistic.  

and say goodbye to every. single. complaint. 
for 30 days!
