Don't complain about ______.

Is it just me or is much of the world on a slippery slope of complaints?

From blaming others for problems we've brought on ourselves... "Stupid credit card companies charge me 25% interest!"

To making personal criticisms of people we've never met instead of critiquing ideas... "Obama is such a jerk."

I have a challenge for you.  Just try this today.  Don't complain about anything!  Instead, put a positive spin on the situation.  What do you have to lose?

Try this approach:

1. Ask yourself if it's really THAT important (getting cut off in traffic is not worth the effort that it takes to complain... seriously... relax).  If it's not worth it, don't.
2. If it is important, ask what can you do to help.  Ask what you can do to encourage others.  Ask what you can do to inspire people.
3. Do it!

"Any fool can criticize, condemn or complain... and most fools do."
