Week 8 – You live what you see!

A friend of mine told me to check out the pickle-challenge at http://www.joetye.com/pickle-challenge.html and I am glad I did…thanks Bob!
Are you a complainer? I guess we all are to some degree but it seems that the problem has gotten worse over the years. Some people seem to enjoy having something to complain about…and a few even live for it. Are we becoming a nation of whiners…I hope not!
What good comes of it? Some people offer a lot of lip service when they find something they don’t like or have a problem come up in their personal or professional life. What good comes from that? When a problem arises (as they often do) instead of whining about it why not take action? Discuss the problem, look for viable solutions and correct the issue that is creating all the fuss. Do something that will actually help fix the problem -- work towards solutions.
What’s wrong with whining? It is a negative emotion and negativity breeds more of the same. Instead focus your energy on positive thoughts and actions and your life will be better and you’ll have more energy. You will be safer too because you’ll be more focused on what you do when you do it. Be a problem solver!
A few tips from Joe Tye!
-Don’t be a victim of your past. Even if mommy loved Tommy best, the past is the past. Focus on the positive memories and let those negative experiences go. You’re not perfect and neither were your parents...Live for today!
-Don’t buy into the Crying game. Just by being born in the US you have more opportunities then most people will have in their lifetime. Americans are among the richest individuals in the world. Some folks walk miles for clean water, millions have little or no shelter. Thousands starve every day! Life is good – Focus on the Positive!
-Spend time with the important people in your life! Family and friends can rejuvenate you when the world is playing hard ball so take a time-out every now and then. Life isn’t meant to be easy which is why you have a support system. Life is for living…give it a whirl!
-Life is what you make it! You have a choice every day to decide what kind of day you’re going to have… People live what they see! Look for the good things in life (there’s plenty there it just may be harder to see).
Make it a Great Day…you’re the only one who can!!!
