I decided that I was very unhappy with my life at the moment. I found myself complaining about every little thing and pointing out flaws in everything.

School is stressful, money is tight constantly, and people are in and out of my life due to numerous reasons, some of which may or may not have to do with my attitude.

I saw this quote that said, "Go 24 hours without complaining. Watch how your life will change."

I was skeptical, of course, but what could possibly be the harm in not complaining? It was so hard, but worth it. I found myself smiling more and positive vibes surrounded me.

My Starbucks order was messed up and then someone cut me in line. I could have snapped and complained, but I didn't.

The lady who cut me in line dropped her drink on her new dress, and because I was feeling more positive, I helped her clean it up and killing her with kindness caused her to apologized for cutting me. My order was messed up, but it ended up being my new favorite drink: Vanilla Bean Cream.

I found myself complimenting and hopefully wishing instead of the normal complaining. It caused my day to be more productive and less stressful.

Even though I complained the first thing the next morning, because I had an early class, I found myself a little happier, and I did not complain as much as the day unfolded.

I never realized how much complaining can affect your mood and the day overall. Why complain when life is something to be happy and hopeful about? I still complain from time to time, but I don't see it taking over my day and affecting my mood like before. It is an amazing lifestyle change that I think everyone should adapt to.
