If you gave yourself seven days to change your life, what would your life look like? Anthony Robbins knows there is a giant living within all of us capable of great transformation.

What is a complaint, and why do we feel such a deep need to get the attention of others in such a negative way? When we choose this path, do we turn off listeners who might approach our problem with more graciousness and willingness if we spoke more positively. Is one always justified or a bid for attention we need? Are there strategies that would serve us better in getting others to hear us and respond? What is a creative complaint and When is it the better option?
