So You Think You Got It Bad?!

I have to admit I really struggled with what to write about. I know that may sound silly considering that this is the first day of the New Year and there is a plethora of intention, resolution, and “making this year your best year ever” topics to choose from. Somehow writing about how to make 2008 the best year felt a tad “been there, done that”. (Please know I mean no offense to anyone who has written about making this the best year ever. Kudos to you and thank you!)

So to help with my massively self-imposed writers block, I shared my topical conundrum with my sister. Being the smart, creative cookie that she is she suggested that I write about . YES! What a brilliant idea!(Thanks, Wen) Anyone who knows me, knows that I am BIG into so I can’t think of a better way to start 2008 then to share a bit about this amazing movement.

In an effort to promote prosperity and create an attitude of gratitude, Rev Will Bowen challenged his congregation to go complaint-free for 21 days. (Yep, attitude does make a HUGE difference!) To support them in the challenge he gave each one of his members a purple bracelet to be used as a reminder of their commitment to think positively. Here's the kicker; if at any time the wearer of the bracelet caught themselves complaining aloud they had to move the bracelet from one wrist to the other.

What an amazing way to create awareness and to help change a mindset!!

So here is my challenge to you for the start of this New Year; eradicate complaints from your conversation with others for the next 21 days. See what happens – I will be willing to bet you dollars to donuts that you will begin to notice a positive change.

Here is to an amazing, complaint-free, positive thinking 2008.

I just ordered the bracelets for my team, and am challenging them to be contagious with finding the positive and soaring to new heights....
