			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size =3>Complaining is so yesterday. Whining is so 2009. Aren&#8217;t you tired of doing it or being around it already? Me too! It&#8217;s exhausting. It&#8217;s 2010 and it&#8217;s time to be in control of how you feel or what happens in your life. It can be such a powerful transformation to simply remove just this one thing from your daily habits.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s possible to feel like a new person if you eliminate what I call victim language. Being a victim can be perceived as weak or lazy. However, in my opinion, being a victim is actually a lot more trouble than it&#8217;s worth and uses quite a bit more energy in the long run than it does to be positive. Being so consumed with negativity, making excuses, finding reasons why things won&#8217;t work, or seeking justice is a lot of hard work! Let it go.</p>
<p>Deciding to be a D.I.V.A. says to those around you that you are D: Determined to do whatever it is you set your mind to. Being a D.I.V.A. shows others you are I: Innovative and able to create solutions to your problems and that you&#8217;ll be stopped by nothing. Being a D.I.V.A. oozes V: Vivacious energy for all the world to see. You&#8217;re unstoppable with boundless enthusiasm and resources to make your life all that you want it to be. Being a D.I.V.A. means you are an A: Achiever who makes things happen and takes things to the next level. You settle for nothing and you create a life on your terms and you aren&#8217;t really concerned with what isn&#8217;t going well, why it can&#8217;t be, or what&#8217;s not fair. There&#8217;s no time to complain as a DIVA.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the verdict? Are you a Victim or a D.I.V.A.?  Share your comments below!!  How are you going to exude DIVA today?</p>
