Complaint Free

Lives Changed

"Yesterday was my 21st consecutive day with no complaining, gossiping which is very hard when you have 3 teenage daughters), or criticizing. This is my third time trying this and I'm proud of myself for being successful. My kids made me a small cake to celebrate the occasion with me. As I write this on day 22, I feel good about myself for making the change.

Even though I work in a correctional facility and inmates can be very hard on us, I've managed to ignore the comments, attitudes and objects being thrown at me. I have grown up and matured into a different adult...One who no longer needs to complain."

" In Mostar, we are "famous" because of war. And my goal is that my family and I will live without complaining. We are trying to live like normal people from all around the world and be happy for every new day. We try to smile because we have many fine years in our lives. '

When we can eradicate complaining from our lives, we truly become happier, ' As you said on Oprah, 'If you're not articulating your complaints, your complaint has nowhere to go so your mind stops creating complaints. ' We really love this sentence and we try to do and live just like you said, without complaining. "
