Dare to dream
A Complaint Free World
I read a wonderful book last week. It has already changed my life. I hope it can do the same for you.
It’s called ‘A Complaint Free World’ by Will Bowen, and it’s a simple premise, summed up by the title (as a hint).
I’d had it for a while, and it didn’t appeal greatly as I am already not much of a complainer, yet I was drawn to it on a recent plane journey and didn’t put it down thereafter.
Here’s a glimpse: “Complaining never attracts what you want, it perpetuates what you do not want… If you’re not happy with what you have, why would you want more of it?” So when you complain, you are actually repelling what you profess to want.
Yup, that’s right, folks… The first step towards prosperity in all its forms is to be grateful for what we currently possess.
[Penny dropping sound]
“The measure of mental health is the disposition to find good everywhere” - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Yep, the words you speak indicate, reinforce and perpetuate your thoughts. Change the words you use, and watch your world change.
I entered into the spirit of this by looking around me and starting to appreciate everything rather than ignoring it or being ungrateful for it.
Think about it for a moment.
You’re probably not sitting in the middle of a warzone or the aftermath of an earthquake right now. You probably do have access to clean water and food. And someone probably loves you.
Wow. Right there. Gratitude alert!
Because when you complain, you are just hugging your ego. Complaining about an illness will neither shorten its duration nor lessen its intensity. In fact, it will often have the opposite effect. We do it because we think it makes us feel better. Maybe even… right. And yet, it’s actually doing the opposite.
And isn’t it funny that people mostly complain to their friends, family and coworkers, yet we want to be associated with people who complain less than we do?
So, apart from recommending this wonderful book and starting my own journey of freedom from complaining, I’d love to introduce you to a new way of being. One that is embedded in gratitude, forgiveness, love and kindness.
And I think this world could benefit from a little more of that right now... so let’s get the ball rolling, shall we…?
In the meantime, have a great week, learn heaps, love loads, appreciate it all, complain less, and then pass it on.
