Have you ever looked for your sunglasses for 15 minutes only to have someone tell you that they’re on your head? Or maybe you’ve looked for your keys for 30 minutes only to find them in your pocket? Many times we get so busy that we do things without thinking…
I challenge each of you to be positive and without complaint for 24 hours. For us to do this, we have to examine what we say. It will not be easy. As we identify a complaint that is coming out of our mouths, we need to correct ourselves by rewording…
