Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Today I am taking my cue from one of Marci Shimoff’s “happy hundred,” in her book Happy for No Reason, who said, “I am grateful for everything; I have no complaints whatsoever.” Marci’s latest book is Love for No Reason.

About Marci Shimoff:

This is the latest breakthrough from this New York Times best-selling author, world-renowned transformational expert, author of Happy for No Reason, co-author of sixChicken Soup For The Soul books, and featured teacher in hit film The Secret. Her profound teachings are easy-to-understand … and her methods work!

I’m not quite there yet (“no complaints whatsoever”). It is not easy to find gratitude when things are not going well, or I just don’t feel well, or I just have low feelings.

However, I was so stunned when I read Marci Shimoff’s “happy hundred” quote (“I have no complaints whatsoever!”) that I was determined to emulate that. This was a 180 degree turnabout for me, as I am a good editor (I can find even the minor mistake in anything).

However, people don’t want to be edited. They want to be loved and accepted, no matter what.

And I am very slowly learning to do that.

Thank you, Marci Shimoff, for taking the time to show us how to be happy and loving (even in a culture of constant complaints)! 😮
