Are you looking for a challenge for the New Year? You could join over six million people who have taken up the challenge of trying to go 21 consecutive days without complaining, criticizing, or gossiping. I don't usually make New Year's resolutions, but this idea intrigues me.
I first learned about this book when the author, Pastor Will Bowen, appeared on The Today Show to talk about his simple plan that has now turned into a world-wide movement. It all started with a sermon and challenge to his congregation to create a complaint-free zone. He gave each member a purple " No Complaint" bracelet and offered them a challenge. "If you catch yourself complaining , take the bracelet and move it to the other wrist." On the average it takes approximately three to eight months for those who stick with it to complete the 21 consecutive days and by doing so form a new positive habit.
In the back of the book the author invites you to "Be a part of this positive, transformative movement that continues to ripple through lives around the world. Visit www.AcomplaintFreeWorld.org." I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the challenge...my bracelet is on order. Have a great year!
