The following is mentioned by Seth Godin about complaining using a positive language.

“In this economy, I’m lucky to have this job, and it’s almost perfect. It would be even better if…”

or

“I love owning this device, it lets me manage my life and contacts, and the one thing that would make it even better is…”

It’s important to leave out the word “but.”

The fascinating thing about this approach is that not only does it make you happier when you say it, it increases the chance that the person you’re complaining to will actually do something to help you.

Recently, LivingHalal coaches have participated in Stronger Than Ever: Emotional Strength Training.

One topic the training covered was dealing with emotions (anger/regret), which the following story presents in a touching way.

USED vs. LOVED

While a man was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked up a stone
and scratched lines on the side of the car.

In anger, the man took the child’s hand
and hit it many times not realizing
he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers
due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father…..
with painful eyes he asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’
The man was so hurt and speechless;
he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions….. .
sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;
the child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’.

Anger and Love have no limits;
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely
life & remember this:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
The problem in today’s world is
that people are used while things are loved.

Let’s try always to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I’m glad a sweet person forwarded this to me as a reminder…
I hope you have a good day no matter what problems you may face
it’s the only day you’ll have before it’s over.

According to Makkah, 10th of Muharram for 1431 is on December 27th, 2009.

So please remember to fast on Sunday the 27th and the following day Monday the 28th (instead of fasting Saturday the day before, because there is an opinion based on a narration that fasting on Saturday is not allowed except for obligatory fasts, and Allah knows best).

You probably know that what you eat may affect your health. But, do you know that:

1. The order that you eat your meal (e.g., soup first or last) has great impact on how your body reacts.
2. The way you prepare your food may turn healthy ingredients into toxins.
3. The combination of food you eat in a single meal may affect your digestion and nutrient absorption.
