To understand what I would like to convey, a little ground work needs to be done. Ask your self this question. In the last few days what have you complained about. The heat, rain, to much wind, not enough traffic in that listing you have had for the last eight months, sellers are not listening, buyers can't get a loan.
Any thing, wether you consider it to be big or little in your life.
Now ask yourself another question. How have I helped the situation by complaining about what ever it is I'm not happy with. If you are speaking with someone about these troubles, they probably are thinking to them selves, yeah yeah yeah take a number buddy and get in line. We all (think we) have something to go off on these days.
For myself I really experienced an eye opener. This past Monday I visited the Leukemia, Lymphoma section of the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, were I met some really brave little souls ranging in age from 2 to 14. And the one thing that really inspired me was none of them had anything negative to say and I think they had every right to complain.
I spoke with a 13 year old boy named Augustine that had just under gone a round of chemo the day before and he was not able to move his legs. He said every time he has his treatment this happens. I also met an 8 year old girl named Sarah, she is in her third relapse of Leukemia. These kids had an excellent reason to complain...........But they don't.
Here's my point, when we think that nothing is going our way, what ever you are going through and the outcome is not what you had planed or envisioned. My advice to you would be "let it go" don't dwell on what is not going right, dwell on creating a solution, there are worse things in life that can happen. Be grateful you don't have to go through what these kids are going through.
Now the pitch. I am involved in raising money for a cure for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and they could really use your help. For more info please visit this site, I promise you it will only take a minute to read the content, it is only a couple of short paragraphs. What ever you are able to do would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I know that those kids would be grateful if you passed this along to others, for them.
