You can afford anything but not everything.

Every decision that you make is a trade-off against something else, and that's true,

not just of your money, but also your time, focus, energy, attention, and your attitude.

I thought it would be nice to wrap up this year with a light-hearted episode about

the importance of keeping a positive attitude, so I invited Will Bowen to be my guest on

this holiday episode, the final episode of 2017.

Will Bowen started a campaign to motivate people to complain less.

He noticed that many people in his community said they wanted more stuff, more possessions,

but they complained about the things that they already had.

So he wondered if perhaps people could find happiness not by purchasing more, but rather

by complaining less.

And from that, he kicked off a movement, a complaint-free movement, and he wrote a book

about it as well, a book called The Complete Free World.

In today's episode, he discusses how we can move towards a complaint-free lifestyle,

a lifestyle of gratitude, or if not gratitude, than at least one of less negativity.

I thought this would be a cheerful, light-hearted interview that would just round out this year,

so I hope you enjoy.

With no further delay, here is Will Bowen.

Hi Will.

Hello Paula, how are you?

I'm excellent.

How are you doing?
