Complaining

'Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.'

Ephesians 4:29



I spent yesterday with a wonderful friend whom I hadn't seen for awhile. I was truly grateful to see her and looked forward to having a 'girl's day out' and catching up. She has been at a low ebb in recent months, so it was really great to get her out and into a positive frame of mind for a least a few hours. But Alas! As we greeted each other she started with a complaint about the weather! This continued, she complained incessantly, I had to tell her that she needed to change her way of thinking! Perhaps, this was the reason for her attracting 'negative' situations in her life. I warned her I would be blogging about this today.....

This made me think, and I asked myself this; how many of us begin our conversations with a complaint or complaints? How many of us surround ourselves with people who do? According to the 'Universal Law of Attraction' simplest definition is 'like attracts like.' The more you complain, the more likely you will attract unpleasant experiences. People who complain all the time are always willing to point out the problems, but never willing to be a part of the solution.

Do you find yourself complaining? If you do then make an effort to stop this habit, try to be positive, try to be grateful, start with the little things. Start by saying things that will make others feel good , they will enjoy being around you , and soon you will begin to feel good too. Once you choose joy and gratitude, you will be astonished as to how uncomplicated and happy your life will become! The more grateful you are, the more positive experiences you will have! Live each moment completely. Fully enjoy the beauty of each moment...

Peace and Love,
Natalie
