Everywhere you turn it seems that someone is complaining, someone is moaning, someone is griping about something.
Our culture of negativity is hard to avoid. In fact, in the last two sentences, I used six negative words. Anyone can complain but it takes a real man to actually do something about it.
In this video, we talk about why we’re negative, the traps that I personally fall into, and what you can do to transform your negative outlook to a positive one.

Great share Ryan! I recently went to St. Pete Beach beach the other day and I heard a couple of people complaining about the beach being crowded. I was thinking to myself that there is miles of beaches and we are on the beach and it is absolutely beautiful. How could anyone complain about this? What else could one ask for? This is paradise and people are being negative. With that said, I went on and enjoyed the rest of my day!

Superb! That’s one word to described you video Ryan! Thanks for sharing this.
If we wished to have a happy and successful life, we must first forget negative thoughts. Let’s make it a habit to end our day without complaining anything or without any negative thoughts in our head, it’s hard but I am sure it’s possible! 🙂

Thanks Allon! I like the idea and habit of ending the day on a positive note.

This was a great message Ryan! It is so important for women to hear this as well as men. We are so blessed to live in this country and we have so many opportunities and much wealth (not having anything to do with money). Thank you for helping us all to look at the bright side. You are so right on in saying that it starts with us!!

So true and so valid for everyone! Especially as we become more obsessed with instant gratification and perfection now, staying in the moment – being the change we want to see is so important. I also think it’s important to differentiate between acknowledging something in our life isn’t how we would like it to be and taking the steps to rectify it, with idle moaning and not changing. As you say we all want bigger and better things but that shouldn’t detract from what we have at the moment.

Thanks for sharing Kemi! I agree with you that we should not complain without a willingness to do something about our current circumstance.
