How to Stop Complaining
I'm reading a new book .... surprise surprise.
Its called "A Complaint Free World: How to Stop Complaining and Start Enjoying the Life You Always Wanted"
I've been part of way too many "kitchen table" talks.

I'm over it.
I don't like it when I hear it and I am embarrassed when I participate in it.

It resonated with me since I've heard people complain about traits that I did not notice in someone.
I assumed I was just not tuned in enough.
Then I started to realize that the issues that bother us in others are the issues that we also have.
whoa!
So next time something bothers you, ask yourself if you also do it.

Boy what a week it has been. It was a busy kelly week. And I learned some valuable lessons. I have decided to take on real estate as a side job. So I'm learning something new which makes me uncomfortable. It tends to also stress me out because there is not enough time in the day to learn everything. I've been reminded on the importance of being patient. A person can only do so much. I've learned that having this new goal has made me excited on overcoming these new obstacles. I've been...
