Comments on: A Complaint Free World http://blog.mrfire.com/a-complaint-free-world/ Thoughts, news, riffs and reviews by Dr. Joe Vitale ("Mr. Fire!") about marketing, publicity, selling, hypnosis, copywriting, books, fitness, metaphysics, "The Secret" and anything else he cares to comment on, including healing, humor, the Internet and yes, maybe even sex.

Big thanks to Will Bowen for acting on his inspiration and for writing such an enjoyable and encouraging book. And thank you fellow beings for 'being' there and us all doing this together :grin: Also writing about recent post #30 and the banner saying "Torture is Wrong" - Absolutely. Of course. But the banner still says the words and therefore gives energy to 'torture' and 'wrong' and we don't want either of these! I remember a quote from Mother Teresa saying if it was an anti-war march she would not attend but if it was a peace rally she'd gladly be there = she knew 'The Secret'! I've puzzled how we can put the positives of some of these negatives in an equally impacting way because they don't 'translate' the same.. eg All I remembered from the "No Blood for Oil" posters was 'Blood for Oil'! (apparently the subconscious mind tends to focus on the main words so it can easily miss the negation) but "Peace" doesn't give the same information, though it worked as an positive version of the "No War" slogan. Could the phrase 'torture is wrong' be replaced by "BE KIND TO ALL" or "RESPECT & KINDNESS" or "DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY" (thank you the Bible and also Ben Kingsley's lovely old classic story The Water Babies) or what else?? It is wonderful that we have such possibility to choose and affect our experience of 'reality' tho a bit scary if my mind is running negative programmes I'm not yet aware of.. oo..er... thank you for my bracelet!!

I am so greatful that my search for Truth brings me to ways where I can meet people and hear them, see them, notice a brilliance of the energy of positive thinking, inspiration to act, to believe in that everything is possible. The Spirit is important. Thank you Joe Vitale, Wil Bowen, Jennifer McClean, Lynne McTaggart, Ellen Brit, and so many many more to honor gratitude. Thank you so much.

They printed a banner... white lettering on a black background that says Torture is Wrong. There is no doubt as to where the church stands on this issue, but they are not just complaining that it exists. I find solutions such as these all the time now since I took the challenge... although I've yet to make it through my 21 days. I will. This week, I am presenting a lay sermon on the topic to my church... I'm hoping to spread the idea. I believe it is easier if you have support.

I am surprised by the fact that I am noticeing I complain very little but those around me are constantly complaining. This is allowing me too look at myself in a way I never have before. Why am I choosing to permit all these complainers in my life? Does their negitivity limit me? Serve me a purpose? Obviously there is a reason I choose these relationships and hopefully as I continue to move my bracelet I will discover what these reasons are.

I have created the GRATITUDE WRISTBAND! It has the three steps on manifestation (ASK-BELIEVE-RECEIVE) on on side, and " I AM GRATEFUL " on the other. Every time you feel lack, or need that boost of fresh positive energy, simply move the wristband from one wrist to the other while reading the phrases, and it will re-center your state of mind! It really works! Best of all they are FREE (less S&H)!! visit www.gratitude-wristband.com BE GRATEFUL AND YOU WILL RECEIVE!!!

I got my bracelet today in the mail... but I was researching others experiences and definitions of what a 'complaint' is. One day I will get the funds together to get the book ~ I think it will be a fantastic read! This idea makes really hits home an important scripture from the Bible... "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it, shall eat the fruit thereof" PROV. 18:21 That tells me that I get the 'fruit' of my words... a really great book was written by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome called "Prophecy: Understanding the power that controls your future". Pastor Chris explains one of the two aspects of prophecy... speaking words of power into your future ~ speaking life. Its and awesome read, go to www.christembassyonlinestore.org to order it if you wish. Again, thanks for the post, and I am starting tomorrow... Complaint free world ~ here I come!!

They are perfect together. The power of our own thoughts is an astonishing blessing. Understanding that power at our youngest possible age would make a phenomenal difference in our lives. To The Golden Rule we could add the Silver Rule: You are what you think - think happy.
