The purple wrist band

I guess by now you should know that i am an Oprah addict. I've always been amazed with the segments and topics that being discussed and portrayed. This morning is no exceptional, a topic about how people complain, and complain , and complain even more appears.

Have you sometimes wonder how some people likes to nag and complain from the littlest things to even the weather for example when you meet a person in the elevator, to break the ice you would say " Gosh the weather is hottttttt today" or " Gosh its pouring like hell out there". Have you ever wondered that the weather is not something that you should complain especially to people because it is something that only god can change? Instead why don’t you say “wow what a wonderful weather we have today" even when its so hot or pouring like hell.

Have you heard about the purple rubber wrist band? Its a wrist rubber band that says " Free Complain" which was started by this one pastor somewhere in the US to encourage his parishioners to stop complaining. The idea is to put the wrist band in your left hand side for 21 days without complaining. When you complain even to the littlest things than you should shift the wrist band to the other side of your hand and start over and when you broke the cycle again you should shift to the other hand again until you get it right for a complete 21 days.

This exercise allows you to reduce your urge to complain and eventually make a free complain world and build a more positive human being. According to the pastor they are giving this wrist band for free in most of the countries ( I think its just around the USA) and they are giving it by the millions. One funny thing that Oprah said was knows who she would give it to…. And it is actually one of her staff ( her make up artist) , according to Oprah her make up artist is a complainer.

So, why not take a challenge and try to immolate what they are doing and look on the bright side, we wouldn’t lose a thing accept for our habits. I will buy myself a wrist band tomorrow ( of any colour but I will find a purple one) and would try my best to follow the rules and see if I can lose one of my bad habits. If you are reading this why not challenge yourself too and see will it change our life and the people around us, as I said we got nothing to lose accept for our bad habits. Syarifah, Aishah ,Aaron or even anybody out there if you are reading this challenge yourself for 21 days FREE COMPLAIN and i am sure the end result would be a life changing.
