7 Day Challenge

One of the most common non-productive activities we all participate in is complaining.  Although frustration is real and relevant, what good comes of spending useful hours doing something so useless?  Yes, we all need to vent, but how long do we vent before it becomes detrimental to our progress?  Think about this, every time we complain we give validity to the hater,enemy, bully, etc that created the problem.  Do you really want to give that much "face time" to someone/something that is out to destroy, devalue, or depress you?

For the next 7 days I want you to join me in a challenge against complaining.  I originally wanted to do 30-days, but I believe that if we start small then we will build a strong habit.  Here is the plan:
Starting as soon as you finish reading this post
-We will replace each complaint with  the phrase "And Life Goes On"
-We will not participate in complaint parties
-We will acknowledge the problem, but seek to immediately to find a solution

At the end of these 7 days, we will end this challenge with a personal celebration.  Let's get busy defeating complaining.  

Just me
