A few years ago I resolved to stop complaining about things because there was SO MUCH complaining going on around me, all the time. Believe it or not, you will actually stand out as noticeably DIFFERENT from most people just by not complaining!<br /><br />Complaining, pity parties, and allowing ourselves to be (or remain) a victim are the same as us saying "I am willingly relinquishing my joy because I don't like the situation I find myself in." That's really sad. I want to keep my joy! I don't want to just give it away for free! <br /><br />I'm thankful to have positive people in my life, such as you two, who can help me keep my lenses focused in the proper direction.Steve Daughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362803227040068337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963100779549349187.post-58987025175827052582011-10-14T12:57:57.467-04:002011-10-14T12:57:57.467-04:00I read both yours and Steve's posts and liked ...I read both yours and Steve's posts and liked them.

I posted something on my Facebook and Steve posted a status about a guy who was so positive, even in the worst circumstances. I definitely agree that positive thinking does not solve problems, but it definitely has a profound impact on your life and helps you face things better than if you remained a victim. Everyone should read this; I'm going to share it! :)Sarah @ See Sarah Eathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501507918783899135noreply@blogger.com
