I completed the Uplevel Your Life mastery program in 2011, and the one thing that profoundly changed my life more than anything else was committing to going complaint-free.

“I see you.” You may or may not have seen the movie Avatar. When the people (Na’vi) of Pandora greet each other, they say (in their language), “I see you.” This is such a beautiful way to interact! Think about it. When you are passing someone, you are not judging them, not requesting any personal …
