I am sure that many wonder if this is just a new fad or if the products and stylists actually deserve their reputation. To determine their credibility lets analyze their hair treatment process.

It does indeed take people standing up to make change happen, and it's not a matter of whether or not it's possible, but rather just a matter of enough people consistently taking the right actions. We'll get there eventually, and in the meantime, it's great to hear from people like yourself who already have the kind of attitude that these types of changes are made of. p.s. - Total bonus points for using <em>accommodativeness</em> in a sentence! ;) John,

Furst Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:57:41 +0000 http://www.todayisthatday.com/blog/?p=395#comment-3295 Hi Aaron! Love this post! Life means change. Without proper guidance things turn to the negative side. That's just the way it is. For bad things to happen, it's suffice that the good people do nothing to prevent it. Hopefully we are reaching a point where people stop complaining, but stand up and change things. Indifference, accommodativeness, intolerance, and greed are the ultimate source for many of the examples you mentioned, Aaron. Yours John Enjoy the weekend. P.S.: People, stop complaining and take matters into your own hand. Make democracy work, again. Hi Aaron!

If people stopped complaining long enough to look for and work towards solutions, the issues themselves would either go away, become relegated to a place of less importance, or we would find positive ways to deal with them. Complaining is easier, though, which I guess is why so many people do it! Evelyn,

I wish more people would realize that.</blockquote> That is SO very true, and if people on a MASS scale would adopt and embrace your award-winning attitude, the world would instantly start being a place where there simply wouldn't be as much to complain about. Thanks a bunch for adding so much to the conversation, Kelly! Kelly,

So many people have trouble accepting that perception is reality and there are few absolutes that people see the same way. We always have a choice to take a life bump as an opportunity for growth,rather than something that is going to drop us. We can always choose where to focus our energies and how we want to see our world. We can decide that we will triumph no matter what. And even if that seems in doubt at times, we have to remember the race is long. If I think everything will end up working out in the end, then it will. I wish more people would realise that. Cheers Kelly Love this post. So many people have trouble accepting that perception is reality and there are few absolutes that people see the same way.

I really couldn't agree with you more. Some people just have a habit of looking at everything with a negative mindset. Us Brits are famous for it when we complain about the weather.

As you say, lets get past the complaining, try to look at things in a positive light when possible, and take action to correct the things without indulging in useless "poor me" complaints. Peter ps - thanks for lending me your soapbox ;) Aaron,
