2015 Purposeful Positive Action Challenge



In 2014 I found myself complaining quite a bit more than usual... Not to say there weren't many complaint worthy moments. However, I was taught by my father a long time ago that "in the history of man complaining has never changed anything! If you don't like something... CHANGE IT!" In more contemporary verbiage my dad was saying "Don't talk about it. Be about it!"

I am committed to making 2015 a year of positive actions that make my own life and the planet better. I'm starting with this 30 day challenge:
For the next 30 days when I feel the urge to complain I will stop and ask "what can I do to positively influence this situation even in the smallest way?" More times than not we have the power to shift our situations. If I find that it is a situation that requires the spirit of Ujimaa (collective work) I will do what's necessary to gather the needed forces. As the song goes "The world won't get no better if we just let it be..."

I am working to make 2015 as good a year as it can be for us all! Won't you join me? If you a willing to take the challenge please repost and tag at least 2 people. Together "we can change the world! Yes you and me!"

  1. Your father is wise. I find myself complaining less than I used to. If you can't change it, let it go. Thanks for the reminder in 2015.
