Attitude is Everything
You know, I have really been acting in such a way that is so not ok.. Angry, complaining, resentful…just plain mad. I have been taking it out on my family whom I know love me to pieces (even though sometimes they don’t always show it ;-) ). I have been taking it out on myself like I really have sole responsibility for some of the situations I am in currently. I have even allowed my attitude to trickle over onto those whom I care for by not being completely emotional available to them. I told myself this morning, just stop it. Even if the feelings and emotions are legitimate and valid, even if they are real, this is no excuse or reason to have an ugly attitude.
This truly is the day the Lord has made. The joy of the Lord really should be my strength. Allowing my circumstances to take over my attitude is just a cop out for truly allowing myself to live free. There will be no one missing out on my freedom but me…and maybe my children. Attitude really is everything. The Bible says, “A joyful heart is good medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” I work in a hospital and the it is not just a scripture but truthfully scientifically proven that patients with good attitudes heal faster and better than those who are depressed and anxious about their illness or injury.
Don’t be scared to be happy. Don’t be afraid to have a positive attitude. It may feel weird to have a positive outlook on your negative situation but attitude is everything. How you perceive your situation either helps or hinders the outcome. Dare to believe in the best in a thing. Dare to be joyful in your spirit…regardless.
Take the walk with me to have a great attitude.
Blessings!
