If you are like me, you probably have times where you hit walls and nothing seems to go right...no matter what you try, no matter which way you turn.  And if you hit the wall hard enough, not only will you bruise yourself, you may even knock yourself into a state of complete "stupidity".  This is a state where you forget the basic principles of happiness and success...and instead you adopt a distorted view that everything in life is just plain crappy. 

I hit that wall. 

I was struggling with some new business ventures that were not panning out.  Then my finances took a hit.  Then some of my relationships became affected (or should I say "infected").  I was tumbling out of control down a mountain unable to stop myself and everything in my life looked just plain crappy.

I found myself whining and complaining to everyone.  Many would join my band wagon and help me to feel justified in my complaints.  And that added fuel to my fire!  I would have a "Yeah, how dare this happen to me!" attitude which gave me a quick high...but obviously didn't change anything about my dreaded circumstances.  I actually noticed I felt even worse after a long bought of mass-complaining! 

Recently, one of my most heart-felt relationships was at risk of dissolving, and that was the last straw.  I looked in the mirror and decided enough is enough! 

I stopped myself mid-way down the mountain, brushed myself off, stepped out of the state of "stupidity" and went back to the basics.  The stuff I teach others but sometimes forget to practice myself.  The stuff I started practicing several years ago that pulled me out of the bind of homelessness and propelled me into success beyond belief.  

But this time, I did it a little differently - I enlisted the help of a purple rubber wrist-band that says "A COMPLAINT FREE WORLD" on it.  I've had the wrist-band sitting in a pile with 49 others ever since I purchased them back in the spring.  I had seen this guy on "Sunday Morning" (my favorite a.m. TV show) who had come up with the idea. 

Here is a blurb from the "Complaint Free World" website: 

Rev. Will Bowen of Christ Church Unity in Kansas City, MO was teaching a series on Prosperity. Part of this series was helping the congregation to form a habit of gratitude by going 21-days without complaining.  Studies show it takes 21 days for people to form a new habit. In an effort to make the lesson practical, the church purchased purple bracelets and gave them away encouraging them to move the bracelet to the other arm if they caught themselves complaining.


I ran right out and bought the audio tapes after I saw Will's interview that Sunday morning in the spring.  I already believe that what we focus on expands, so this was right up my alley.  The audio provides the results of several case studies and the amazing things that are happening in peoples' lives by eliminating this negative habit!

As of today, they have distributed 5,742,271 of these purple bracelets world wide.  As I mentioned, I purchased 50 of them and until today, 50 of them sat in the same bag they arrived in.  Now there are only 49 in the bag and 1 is on my arm. 

I invite you to stop by my center and pick up one of the 49 remaining bracelets (my gift to you) and join me in this challenge - 21 days without complaining.  That is if you live close by.  Otherwise go to the Complaint Free World website where you can get one and also learn so much more about the results of this great project in the place it began!  (If you would like one for free from me, just email me to find out when I'll be at the center since I'm not always there :)

Think about it, if NO ONE complained about the economy and financial pain, would there really be economic hardship?  Hmmm.  I find that when we don't stick to the basics in life, life puts walls in front of us with the hope that if we might knock ourselves "smart" again. 

I will be following up on this journey with you and talking more about complaining and the affect it has on all aspects of our lives...so stay tuned!

Finally - I still owe you the 5 Step Process to Stimulate Wealth and Eliminate Financial Stress that I promised back in September!  Instead of sending out in newsletter, I have started a blog and I'm posting the entire article in 6 posts.  The first post was published today.  You can see it by visiting my brand new blog! In addition to the blog, I have a brand new website that I created promoting my Professional Services as well as the Empowerment Center.   
 
Thank you for your patience with me while I've set up the new website and blogsite.  Keep in touch and remember...everything is going to be OK!   
 
ONLY HUGS and NO COMPLAINTS,
