Eight Tweets from The No Complaining Rule

I recently read The No Complaining Rule by Jon Gordon.  Here are eight tweets from the book:

Five Things to Do Instead of Complain:

1. Practice Gratitude.
2. Praise Others.
3. Focus on Success.
4. Let Go.
5. Pray & Meditate.

Turn misfortune into fortune:

Trust in a bigger plan.
Find strength in adversity.
Failure today leads to success tomorrow.
The worst event in life is often a catalyst for the best.
Positive or negative. The choice is ours.

“The measure of our success will not be determined by how we act during the great times in our life but rather by how we think and respond to the challenges of our most difficult moments.”

Pay attention to the people who complain a lot, and you will find they are probably not leading. If you have the time & energy to complain about something, you have the time & energy to change something.

“Research shows that when we count three blessings a day, we get a measurable boost in happiness that uplifts and energizes us. It’s also physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time.”

"She decided that the greatest gift she could give her children would not be wealth or material things, but rather the gifts she could leave in them. In their hearts, in their minds, in their attitudes toward life."

Difference between mindless complaining and justified complaining:

Mindless complaining focuses on problems whereas justified complaining focuses on solutions.

With mindless complaining, you are mindlessly focusing on problems; ... w/ justified complaining you identify a problem & the complaint moves you toward a solution. Every complaint represents an opportunity to turn a negative into a positive.
