Winners give up complaining.

Have you ever been stuck on a plane or in line behind someone who was constantly complaining? Where even the most trivial thing was an impasse to happiness or success? Or, even worse, been in a relationship, either at work or in your personal life, with someone who thinks the glass is always less than half full? Complaining takes a lot of energy…energy that could be used to further your project, solve a problem or make someone else feel better about what they are doing. Complaining does nothing but hurt the complainer. It never solves problems….it may get a third grader out of eating spinach, but…you get the point.

Complaining is like a fast spreading strain of the H1N1 virus, with you as the epicenter! The next time you imagine a problem, or you want to complain about this or that trivial thing, go straight to the closest person you can find and pay them a compliment. Spread a different kind of virus. You’ll be amazed at how many good things start popping up in your life once you start!
