No Whining Zone

I was reading a post on LinkedIn today about people who are successful. One of the eight requirements was “not to whine”. Hello! I was thinking rather than say what not to do, wouldn’t it be better to reverse it to a positive?

Be thankful. Be so seriously grateful that there isn’t any room for doubt, failure, or negative thoughts of any kind. If our heart is wrapped up in gratitude, we will be compelling, dynamic people. I mean seriously, who wants to hang out with a critical, negative person? I know life is sometimes hard, but being grateful makes the road so much smoother.

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
